I think the reason republicans are losing their minds about libs being insufficiently deferential about Kirk (getting people fired, etc.) is because they truly thought when Trump won again that meant no one was ever allowed to disrespect them or their beliefs again, that liberals all had to admit that they were cool and right and smart and sophisticated all along and it drives them fucking crazy that the people they're desperate for approval from still think they're lame stupid hicks. They fucking hate that a podcaster who made cringe SJW compilations for youtube was the closest they have to a public intellectual and they fucking hate they have to pretend he was their answer to MLK and they fucking hate that we know it's all bullshit and we don't care and they can't force us to either so they're lashing out like the little baby dumb hicks that they are.
