Obamania was a hysterical response of leftist aspiration. The Left could smell what they were going to accomplish and its media and cultural establishment threw all caution to the wind to launch a propaganda campaign the likes of which the country had not seen in over 70 years.
Kamalamania is outwardly similar. The hysteria is saturating the entire media. Much as in 2007, a formerly insufferable and dishonest media has simply become as unreadable as anything out of a totalitarian regime.
Everything is filled with worshipful praise of Kamala, chants about her glory, and predictions of her inevitable victory. And that’s just the first few pages of the Washington Post. Not even the most shameful flattery is considered off limits.
All of this was a shock to the system when my younger self encountered it in 2007. I didn’t like or trust the media, but seeing it turn into Invasion of the Body Snatchers was really something. What had formerly been biased was now an unreasoning fanatical machine dedicated to screaming loudly for Obama and screaming loudly against anyone else.
