Oh, what the fuck….
CNN’s political director David Chalian said that the lights on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., are like “extensions of” President-elect “Joe Biden’s arms embracing America” during a segment Tuesday.
This whole “politician as religious icon” thing is some creepy shit.
Our politicians are not holy. You can’t even rightly call most of them good people. They’re grifters who will do any number of morally repulsive acts and stomp any number of people in to the dirt in their bid to amass power and influence. Almost universally do politicians warrant scorn, not worship, and trying to describe them as beneficient beings ready to care for you with their warm embrace should be taken as rank propaganda, yet this shit is presented as totally not fake news.
