I know I'm late to the party but I wanted to chime in real quick and say that while this is true, it mirrors society as a whole. Everything is going to shit, the strain on all of us is unyielding, and there is literally no light in the darkness for so, so many of us. So, when one star miraculously manages to shine bright, its only natural to have the temptation to foist those same hopes and dreams upon them. When that star dies out, as we're witnessing in real time with Zohran, then the most human thing you can do is grieve for that loss of hope.

I know many of you are feeling smug about this with the "fell for it again award" posts, but as a collective this isn't the path to help our brothers and sisters move forward. Telling people that they're fucking stupid for trying to put their energy and effort into some semblance of a better future isn't doing anything other than posting to make yourself feel superior.
