someone i work with stopped their video on zoom, then came back wearing a biden/kamala sweatshirt as someone else was wearing a usa jersey and they wanted to join in. they then spoke about how they wept watching the inauguration.
on the same call, someone else talked about how they were bummed to have missed kamala's speech as they were at the store buying charcuterie and champagne.
someone else on the call spoke of their relief america can finally be "respected internationally again".
someone else i work with simply posted "MADAM VICE PRESIDENT" on slack.
these are all people in their 20s and 30s that think of themselves as having "left wing" politics.
americans are cut off from any traditional social fabric or ritual that would allow them to feel emotionally bonded with others so they're forced to overperform their reaction to the spectacle in completely inappropriate and uninvited circumstances.
