RULES:
What?
It is what is
Isn't "designed" to short circuit cognitive dissonance...
I mean, it kind of could be put that way, but only because OP doesn't seem to know they said the opposite of what they meant to from context.
It is what it is
Means
This is fucked, but I can't help
It's not to trick someone into ending a discussion, its commiserating over a shitty situation.
To let the other person know you're not talking about what's right and what's wrong. Just stating how something is.
It's still accepting a shitty situation because it is what it is. While it might show empathy or at least understanding of the situation, it still is just accepting it that way without digging into it further, or trying to change it.
That line is usually the end of the topic. "Yeah, us working folks sure get fucked over, but it is what it is". Doesn't continue the thought or conversation. It terminates it
The ultimate thought-terminating cliche triumvirate: This is it Fuck it It is what it is

Okay, it is what it is. But is it really what it is?
It's in God's hands, but is it really in God's hands?

"It is what it is." Well no shit?
etymological classifications, as well as sociological ones, are quite the intrigue to me.
Humans have an innate desire to classify and codify things. For some reason.
Nothing you can do about it
