Why do they always put themselves so close to these people in their fantasies? JD Vance is your bully? Kamala Harris is your aunt (I'm glad they didn't call her Mom - There are enough sad men out there projecting mother issues onto women) and Tim is your dad?

They want to be the child of the main character so bad. Too bad they'll be sacrificed on the altar of capitalism like the rest of us.

It's a TV show. They might as well be talking about The Office.

Imagine forfeiting the complexity of your own human experience and the relationships within to live in shitty political fan fiction.

That's just the DNC and American politics overall.

Thank you Aaron Regunberg for daring to be different by being a sad man projecting your aunt issues onto women.

Lol, it's probably because he couldn't picture himself being blood- related to a person of color. That would've been too unrealistic.

I think it's related to the same phenomenon where cult of personality devotees refer to their idols by their first name as if they know them personally.

Sam Harris' cult did this a while back, and it's common with E~L~O~N stans as well.

I fucking haaaaaaaate this. People do it with the British royal family and I just want to tell them to shut the fuck up Washington should have crossed the Atlantic after the Delaware so he could string that entire group of people up the palace walls. "Harry did this," "Charles did that," I don't fucking care. They're pedophile apologists, racists, and their crimes are deserving of a thousand years in the worst versions of Hell.

I didn't figure out their actual names are "Winchester" until I was like 22 years old.

Beto O'Rourke is making your calves cramp

I think they're unable to empathize or relate to experiences or conditions of others without relating it to themselves in some sort of way so they can process it properly. Would match with the inability to conduct a proper analysis of class.

These people view media and insert themselves in the narrative as another character. They see themselves as another member of the Fellowship of the Ring, or another cape in the Marvel films like they're Hawkeye's cousin or whatever. It was only a matter of time before it seeped into politics because political media is an edutainment circus at this stage.
