On the one hand, strippers want you to give them your money because that’s why they’re there.
On the other, it’s weird to pretend strippers aren’t real people with feelings who want to like and be liked in turn, just as much as anyone else.
The cynical “Don’t idolize your politicians” line doesn’t teach people to read the tea leaves and pick better leadership. It just teaches them to throw up your hands and assume everyone is the same.
At some level, you need to recognize strippers and politicians alike as complex humans with both material desires and higher ideals.
Recognizing these desires and ideals helps you know who is worth your time and investment.

Saying all politicians are the same just rewards the worst politicians because it means they face no electoral penalty for their failings, and the better ones gain no electoral advantage from not stooping to those lows.
No one should be idolizing politicians. They work for their constituents.
It’s one thing to buy a shirt or a cap, it’s another to make it part of your identity.
Not really. Democrats “idolized” their president so much they basically forced him out of the race for being too old. This applies to one side: Republicans.
He should of never been allowed to run. Most people saw him losing his ability to govern coming.
No one idolized Harris. Trump is like a Messiah.
A miniscule tiny handful of people doesn’t count. There is a total K-hive number of Maga cult in every big city. Not even in the same ballpark.
Not really. I don’t idolize ANY politicians and am happy to criticize even those I vote for when I think they aren’t doing it right. No Dem politician is selling $100k watches etc. because Dems won’t buy them.
