    It's performative wokeness. "Black girl magic saved the election, but also keep those thugs out of my neighborhood" type of energy

      but also keep those thugs out of my neighborhood

      I wanna give her the benefit of the doubt on this one, since for all her lib takes, Lindsay isn't an outright enemy to the left, I don't think. You're probably spot on with the magical black girl part of it, however. It's cringe, and to me it comes across as speaking for PoC or using them as props / sock puppets, even if it's not intended.

      But then again, I'm also a white* guy, so I want to be careful not to do the same here.

        I was probably being overly harsh with that, but I always found the infantilization of black people during elections to be pretty gross.
