I still think that the worship of her is bizarre. When she publicly endorsed Biden/Harris, it was cool in a "Oh hey, this person that I like is on the correct side of history" kinda way. But the people who suddenly registered to vote because of it? That gave me a really weird/gross feeling.

Pretty much anyone who makes large (possibly life altering) decisions based off what a celebrity does gives me SUCH weird vibes. Its, for lack of a better word, cult-adjacent. And that phenomenon is a small part of why I'm so staunchly pro-public education.

That was not the correct side of history. The entire bipartisan political establishment in the U.S. is on the wrong side of history. That was my point. This political system is the center of a genocidal global empire and media figures and celebrities buy into fame in exchange for socially normalizing it to their followers.
