    Honestly, I think it might not be that, but the absurd rise in what I’ve been calling the “Neo-Ubermensch”. Everyone thinks they are soooo fucking special, and they’re just temporarily unimportant and broke an not the millionaires they know they are at heart.

    This allows them to fit in with the mentality held by the likes of Joe Rogan guests, right-wing fascists parroting all this “Us v Them” bullshit, and makes them feel like they actually aren’t worthless, but are being taken advantage of by lefty politicians.

    Example: Harris is only going to make them normal, but they’re SO SURE they are special, and destined to be GREAT, that all of the nonsense promises by the lying liars on the right seems more exciting than just being average. Conspiracies are more exciting to these people, frankly.
