The shoe has flipped completely upside down

On CNN Wednesday morning (7/24/24), John Berman was interviewing Howard Dean about campaign strategy. Dean mentioned how Trump is now the old guy and “the shoe has flipped completely upside down.” This is a congruent conflation of “the shoe is on the other foot,” and “the script has been flipped”, both referring to circumstances that have been reversed. “Turn (something) upside down” also describes a reversal so may be in the mix as well. Triple congruent conflation? Well done, Howard. Props to Ron MacDonald for spotting this one and sending it in!
