Am I weird for cringing a bit when people treat political leaders like a member of their family, or their favorite character from a show? I understand respecting them, but it gets creepy to me sometimes...

@tyote I'm sorry... people do what now???

@Dogofalltrees You know how sometimes people get obsessed with a show or character and treat them like they're real, or they know them? I see more and more people who treat their favored politicians that way.

Example: I saw someone the other day respond to Beto losing a family member (a private citizen) with, "We loved them so much, they will be missed. Love you Beto!❤️" The most obvious comparison is how some people treat Trump like he's Jesus.

Again, maybe I'm the one being weird about it. 😅
