Of course people’s internalized definitions won’t always line up with the dictionary, but it’s a reasonable point. I think the smoother response would be some form of “I appreciate that.”

Do you think you feel the same way in hypothetical situations where the empathy is genuine but fairly superficial? (“Oh you got stuck in traffic and missed morning donuts? That sucks, I’m so sorry” “hey, not your fault”) Or only in situations where the empathy is quite serious and deeply felt?

With respect, I think you may be overthinking a bit. Like the people who read into saying “no problem” instead of “you’re welcome” in response to “thank you.”
The linguistic role it fills is “standard polite thing to say” regardless of the meaning of the words outside of that context.

I have to assume he once memorized a lot of information about past Oscar races (for gambling purposes) and so this is his One Fact He Knows About Bette Midler.

I initially subscribed to the Post in 2016 as a show of support for a publication that seemed likely to take the brunt of the rage of the incoming administration.
If the Post would rather get that support by capitulating to said administration, it no longer needs my money. Simple as.

"Stem cells" is the one that gets me. Isn't that the pro-life Republicans' bugaboo? Bet he'd include mRNA treatments in that list if that didn't happen to be tech used in the vaccines he's arbitrarily decided are bad.

When I watched it for the first time I was shocked by how straight-up entertaining it was. I don't think movies get to be that highly rated, that universally, if they aren't also a bit fun and easy to watch.

I was wondering if something like this was in play. The initial reported data seemed pretty absurd.

You'd have to think so, wouldn't you? If song quality is a factor for birds choosing their mates, then there must be a sort of hierarchy of "good at communicating" reflected in song.
Although I'm not sure if that's the same as "turn left here--oops, right, I meant right".

It was also quite a bit longer before Election Day. People had longer to forget/rationalize/talk themselves out of the initial disgust.

The underlying presupposition is that Actually, Trump Is Better Than Us. Other politicians and celebrities are just pandering, but Trump is actually, meaningfully a better kind of person, so anything he does to come down to "our level" is something to be treated with awestruck gratitude.

Could it have to do with the internet becoming more widespread? I feels like when comics do try to openly rip off pop culture it's met with a wave of people calling it cringe, and the creators hear that immediately.
Just a vibes theory, though. I'm not in the know.

Yes, it's the absolute confidence of the presentation that I'm sure makes it appealing but also makes it terrifying.
