Comment on Sweet dreams are made of these?

Maybe Freud in his primitive way, was onto something. Pioneers are rarely a finished masterpiece of their art or science. My question is, what is the purpose of this post and how does this public shaming of this particular human psychological experience benefit public discourse, or public materiality?

The purpose is, presumably, to encourage people to search for more information about the story but instead stumble across his recounting of his dream about his grandma, thus potentially causing those who support him to slighty reevaluate their opinions of him.

Oh, well let s/he who never had a weird sex dream cast the first stone.

In a way that’s the very point. They shame people for, amongst other things, what they percieve as sexual deviancy. So, making them realise that one of their own comes up with what they would consider deviant may lead some to reevaluate their position on what is acceptable and/or what they think of him, and whether they keep listening to him. I acknowledge it’s a long shot, but anything that erodes their adherence to these rightwing ‘thought leaders’ is beneficial.

Right-wing extremism was the first stone.

There are better things to shame him for.
