There's both an exuberance and an added sweatiness to it that wasn't there last time. Like they're really feeling themselves, but at the same times there's an air of...something. Vicious desperation? Halfheartedness?
I feel like it's coming from liberals now too.
I’ve computed the viciousness desperation as the American political apparatus really truly understanding that it’s the Chinese century and it’s too late to reverse it. The Biden administration had a sweatiness too in their stalwart denial of reality. Schumer still has this form, the insistence that this is all a big political fad and we’ll go back to 1995 any day now.
