There were people who seemed more interested in winning Twitter than the election. The “fandoms” that form around politicians are similar to those that follow pop stars; stans will go on the attack if they find someone criticizing their “king” or “queen.” It’s funny to refer to a pop star or your awesome friend who got a promotion at work as royalty, but it’s kind of weird to refer to a democratically elected official that way. The entire point of them is that they are not kings and queens.
