People who need people are threatened by people who don’t. The idea of seeking contentment alone is heretical, for society steadfastly decrees that our completeness lies in others.

Liberals act like every critique of Harris (or anyone in their precious center-right party) is a sudden attack out of nowhere because they have nothing but rhetoric and vibes to defend their acceptance of fascism. They have to act like you're being weird and overly-critical because if they don't, the hundreds or thousands of critiques they've heard will come rushing down on top of them like an avalanche of truth. They're not arguing against you so much as they are trying to convince themselves.
