As a non-yank it's so weird to see how normal personality cults are in the US.

The most milquetoast woman I've seen, with the personality of an HR manager, gets dozens of online addicted weirdos to tattoo themselves in her honor, even though I'm certain a person like Warren would sic her guard dogs at anyone with tattoos if she could.

To be fair, which god knows I hesitate to do, these are all campaign staffers, so imagine the kind of person who signs up to campaign for Warren and it should be a little less confusing

I think it was because milquetoast women with the personalities of HR managers were excited for the representation.

(This is not meant as a dig against milquetoast women with the personalities of HR managers. Rock on, boring girls.)

There is no personality cults in the US. Only non-whites do that. Excuse me while I read the constitution to my child for bedtime and pray to the Thomas Jefferson statue
