I’m pretty sure even TV’s Batgirl could stand up to this tiny amount of media pressure: Holy impeachment! Democrat Katie Porter is slammed on social media for dressing up as BATGIRL in Congress on same day as historic inquiry vote.

Maybe Porter should heed Mark Manson’s advice here:

As I wrote at the time, I think it’s more a case of Katie Porter held up a copy of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck during the speaker vote for the photo op, because I doubt she’s read it, considering the most important passage in Manson’s book:
The deeper the pain, the more helpless we feel against our problems, and the more entitlement we adopt to compensate for those problems. This entitlement plays out in one of two ways:
- I’m awesome and the rest of you all suck, so I deserve special treatment.
- I suck and the rest of you are all awesome, so I deserve special treatment.
Opposite mindset on the outside, but the same selfish creamy core in the middle. In fact, you will often see entitled people flip back and forth between the two. Either they’re on top of the world or the world is on top of them, depending on the day of the week, or how well they’re doing with their particular addiction at that moment…What most people don’t correctly identify as entitlement are those people who perpetually feel as though they’re inferior and unworthy of the world.
This sounds like a pretty nifty summation of Porter, to be honest.
