Citation link of Harris worshippers?

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 49 points 2 months ago

Realistically they don't exist. But it messes with their narrative. They need to feel Superior. So they need to feel that the people who disagree with them must worship her or Trump. Because it certainly couldn't be that they have bad takes. Or thay people have reasonable things to disagree with them on. They know in their own minds that they are absolutely 100% correct. And if you disagree with them. It doesn't mean that you have anything about to say or a point. It just means to them that you are wrong.

Bernie is idolized on the left for his character, for good reason. And even then, he's not above scrutiny. When he was investigated for that banking stuff, everyone said "do it".

... that's it. That's all we've got on the left.

But it's only a problem on one side.

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

Pretty much yeah. Dudes aren't festooning their homes and cars with Kamala signs and hats. Blue colored hats haven't become synonymous with one particular political group in a party either.

Not really. Democrats "idolized" their president so much they basically forced him out of the race for being too old. This applies to one side: Republicans.

Not really. I don't idolize ANY politicians and am happy to criticize even those I vote for when I think they aren't doing it right. No Dem politician is selling $100k watches etc. because Dems won't buy them.

Does it apply to both sides though, really?

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

No, actually, it doesn't.

But Return2Ozma hates Democrats so...

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

That's an unfair comparison. On one hand you have the lowest of the low within society, someone willing to compromise any morality they might possess and sell themselves for a paltry sum of money, and on the other hand you have hard working strippers.

I'd be much more likely to trust a stripper than a politician.

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

No one idolized Harris. Trump is like a Messiah.

"This applies to both sides" How very brave of you to call out the people who drive around with Harris trucks to Harris parties decked out in their Harris jackets and hats, trading AI generated pictures of sexy Harris.

You know, those things that are real and really happen.

Look dingbat, calling Trump and his ilk "weird" is not idolizing their opponents, it's simply calling a spade a spade. If you're too cowardly to stand up for what you believe in, don't think trying to slip in a picture of a kitchen magnet is going to make it any better.

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I buy all my Harris nfts with my Soros bucks they put on my vaxxine microchip every month.

So easy to pay bills.

Mr. Both sides guy. 🙄

And the politicians don't let you spit nickels into their spread open buttholes!

[-] Bdtrngl@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Donate enough to their campaign and they might.

On the one hand, strippers want you to give them your money because that's why they're there.

On the other, it's weird to pretend strippers aren't real people with feelings who want to like and be liked in turn, just as much as anyone else.

The cynical "Don't idolize your politicians" line doesn't teach people to read the tea leaves and pick better leadership. It just teaches them to throw up your hands and assume everyone is the same.

At some level, you need to recognize strippers and politicians alike as complex humans with both material desires and higher ideals.

Recognizing these desires and ideals helps you know who is worth your time and investment.

The cynical “Don’t idolize your politicians” line doesn’t teach people to read the tea leaves and pick better leadership. It just teaches them to throw up your hands and assume everyone is the same.

Saying all politicians are the same just rewards the worst politicians because it means they face no electoral penalty for their failings, and the better ones gain no electoral advantage from not stooping to those lows.

But you can't pay a politician to fu....oh I guess you can just get a politician to do that too. Yeah 👍 agreed 💯.

"this applies to both sides" -🤓

Kamala is many things (most of them bad), a cult leader isn't one of them. Im all for dunking on Liberals (im a leftist), but that is just factually untrue.
