I said what can I do to the car that can reduce pot hole damage, not how I can avoid pot holes

The easiest way to help is get tires with lots of sidewall, and wheels that can handle a pounding. The rest of the car should be fine, unless the potholes are the size of the wheel, and with those you should just come to a total stop in the middle of the road and go around.

...and technically, avoiding them is something you can do to the car to reduce pot hole...

I live in a rural area with some pretty rough dirt roads so I run 15x7 wheels with relatively tall 195/60 series tires, a rear sway bar with strut/shock tower braces front and rear, and the stock suspension height for good ground clearance.
