It's a little weird how people are lusting after both of them. I can sort of understand it, but I definitely don't need to see it.
It's extremely rare to see this shit in politics outside of America. The US is uniquely poisoned with gooner brain.
"All American politics is sexual pathology"
It's certainly a lot more common in America, but I see this sort of thing happening in Europe too occasionally. There's quite a number of "hottest politician" posts in European subreddits, in a sort of demented "hot or not" style. Also, whenever a younger female politician has big boobs, people tend to post a bunch of photos that really emphasize the secondary sex characteristics. Some of that is just Americans posting it, but people from all over the world post about politicians boobs.
There's also a lot of gooner brain types in India, lots of hindutva's hate women and basically just want them to be sex machines. Indians on the English speaking internet seem to skew far to the right, so I've seen a lot of Indians genuinely defending theremoved and murder of women, all while sexually objectifying women, in particular their feminist opponents.
I think the part that's unique about America is that the gooner brain is all across the political spectrum, while in other countries it tends to be coming specifically from the right.
I'm hesitant to lionize any politician since it invariably ends in disappointment but they are both objectively attractive and representative of a greater political and cultural shift that's been repressed and in the pipeline a long while so I think a flood of big emotions is being released at once with them arriving on the scene and some of it is being misdirected sexually.
So many important leftists are hot, it completely shatters the right-wing stereotype of leftists. They love portraying us as an amalgamation of stereotypes of leftists they made up in their head, so when these hot leftists come along and are successful, it feels great to rub it in right-wingers faces. And yeah, that'll be misdirected sexually.
Yeah, this kind of stuff happens when hot people do something cool. Loads of people were lusting for Luigi Mangione after he allegedly shot the insurance guy, just like people are lusting after the super hot New York Mayor couple.
edit: damn, I replied twice. I probably had this open in two tabs, and so wrote and sent it twice.
