See? There's one. Relative or not, you like her enough to say you like her. I'm counting it.
I'm just saying, we can't really sit here and pretend nobody likes any politicians. Hell two hole (as in ass, pun intended) instances here simp for Stalin so hard it makes their пизда wet. Sure he's dead but an autocrat is a politican nonetheless.
I'm with you, I actively hate all politicians. In fact you have better stuff to say about them than I would, but we aren't everyone. Some people clearly love politicians.
That's partly from my near-pathological optimism that I developed as a coping strategy for untreated ADHD and depression. I involuntarily see a silver lining in most things.
... Yeah. That's a weird one to me. I suspect it is a neurodivergent thing but it's up there with celebrity worship and other parasocial relationships. I can rationalize my way through it but I don't "get it".
Hold the fuck on did I write this and forget?! Lmao dude same, though I am also full of hatred for authority, so on this one it clashes haha.
Do you mean the politician lovers, us, or both? Lol in any case you may be right, I don't get it either but I do see them around.
Hah!
I was thinking myself (and likely yourself). I am diagnosed ADHD and have a sibling diagnosed with autism, which means that I'm also most likely on the spectrum. My "not getting it" also seems in line with perceptions of social hierarchies that are common in autistic people. It's also why I'm ideologically an anarchist - rigid social hierarchies are fundamentally contrary to a just society.
