    The way they talk about this is so gross. I can't quite put my finger on it but it's surreal and horrible and I hate it.

      Libs talk about their leaders like they're fucking royalty.

        They're also simultaneously acting like they're minority heroes and you are a bigot if you say anything against them because they are sensitive and marginalised BUT ALSO royalty. It's so fucking weird.

      It's the whole parasocial relationship these people exert. KHive was by far the worst I think out of any i've seen in politics besides chuds. But Pelosi is really fucking close too.

      yes. I can't quite put my finger on it either, but it's a specific thing, and I absolutely hate it. It's this sort of combination of smugness, wrongness, gaslighting, invalidation, sanctimoniousness...

        These are all very appropriate adjectives lol

        Except gaslighting which isn't an adjective and also I hate how it is used.
