Thanks.

I think a big thing that is missed is that when it's a case of "homophobic politician turns out to be banging dudes nightly" you need to compartmentalise the two problems - stupid homophobia, and the much more specific "this politician and their political party are very obviously not trying to govern in good faith and instead will say literally anything for power". Both are bad. The first one is a thing that will take a century or two to die away mostly and even then will pop up sometimes if we get complacent.

The second one is the thing that we might be able to fix, like, on a four year cycle.

I haven't seen this put this way before but it's a great point.

You're interpreting too much into it. It's just a "NO U!" response.

And I would interpret it differently: society is so bad that it makes people hate themselves for who they are.
