It’s so disappointing that politics has reached this peak level of cringiness in our time

Our time? Come on, look at the shit people wrote about monarchs. The lyrics to the UK national anthem were written ages ago, afaik.

Extreme ass-kissing has definitely been around for ages. However, social media gives these people a platform for effectively widespreading their bullshit. Another thing that seems like a newer phenomenon, at least in a democracy and in the current magnitude, is the complete loss of accountability. Politicians used to (be forced) to step down when they did really shameful stuff, I don’t see that happening now. Then there is the whole January 6th stuff, etc. etc.
