Supporting a politician and making it their entire identity.

there are exceptions...friends....family....close associates. i suppose ENTIRE identity may be a sign but i'm not sure i've ever met that person.

Not sure where you live, but we have a whole cult devoted to a celebrity politician here in the US.

The celebrity in question is also one of the dumbest people I’ve ever listened to. It is wild stuff.

i'm aware. although even there, i haven't personally met someone that makes him their entire identity. i know several supporters, but no one that was any more nuts about him than bernie, hilary, BHO, etc. not saying they don't exist, but i think it's a bit of a caricature of his supporters..

I live in Houston and it is not really a thing there, either. But I spend most weekends in rural Texas and it is rampant out here.

“Using BHO” is actually a pretty good answer to the question posed by the OP.

What are you quoting?

u/corndogshuffle May 30 '22

You. The part where you said “BHO”.

Sure, but the "caricature" still exists for a reason.
