George Floyd became Dr. Fauci became President Zelensky. Incredible to watch how quickly the media ordains a new false idol. Even more incredible to watch the masses continually fall it, absent any critical thought.

Yes, Candarse:
Yours.
As opposed to the conservatives absolutely FREAKING over Mr. Potato Head, CRT, Dr. Seuss, masks, vax, all of it overblown and carefully staged…

That being said, their narratives to explain “sinister” (not usually actually sinister) ongoings in the government, particularly when Democrats are involved, often don’t follow the chronological order of events. Given how prevalent this was during the Obama years, the phenomenon is sometimes mocked as “Obama’s time machine”. Or someone borrowing it.
Authoritarian assumes that anyone else is just as incapable of any more subtle, more nuanced and/or less single-minded form of respect or admiration than their own adulation of their One On Top, part infinity+2.
While the media may have idols, or stars, one thing that makes a difference is when science and education are involved. No need for a Darwin idol to understand and accept evolution. But a vaccine or COVID-19 denialist really needs them and need to self-indoctrinate with their fringe propaganda and conspiracy theories (I'll avoid mentioning names but there are specific notable figures). Since Fauci was mentioned, where relevant, his sources for health management were scientists keeping up to date and he was working with a qualified team. The problem was corporate and cult propaganda, demonizing him, for financial and political gain. Understanding this doesn't make Fauci an idol for me. Since the OP is anonymous and motivated to support Russia and promote divisive propaganda, it's likely just a troll.
This "argument" is so stupid on its face it makes me wonder just how many roubles the Kremlin paid her for it.
(She's even dumber than I think if she's giving away that prime ass-kissing space for free.)
Confused?
