    One unpopular opinion I hold relative to people with similar politics to mine: I could never stand The West Wing. Awful, pretentious, self-congratulatory show, of/by/for “elites” in the demonized sense used today.

        It’s always felt smug to me.

        Yes super smug. All Aaron Sorkin walkie-talkie shows and movies are incredibly smug. A few good men came closest to not being obnoxious.

        Um, I agree, but I suppose I'm not sure how close our politics are?

        Do you like any of Sorkin’s work, or generally feel this way about all of it? Really enjoyed The Social Network and especially Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

        Agreed it’s pretty smug. My politics are pretty far from TWW, and yet... I enjoy it as entertainment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        I found it an intensely comforting fantasy, but that might be a pavlovian reaction because all those tastefully-underlit rooms remind me of my childhood home

        Yup. Your "holi" (festival) answer in Quora and this, very hard agree. Gives an "everyone in white house is very good person and only circumstances are the villian" outline somehow
