Exactly right. Kudos. (Whatever kudos means).

And the reason that leftists and liberals cling to their political views is because of social anxieties. they are continuallyin a state of status panic. To accept reason and/or conservative ideas means a loss of social status. That’s it.

[Bobalu]

Kudos, from the Greek κῦδος means "fame" and "renown" resulting from an act or achievement.

[AnAmericanMother]

It means praise.

Please note that it's a singular, not a plural, so it takes a singular verb (kudos IS due, not kudos ARE due). The plural is kudoi.

(See, even Greek 101-102 can be of some use.)
