“He is in love with himself.”
I think the opposite. I believe he does not like himself much at all.
He had a broken early childhood abandoned by fathers, confused middle childhood into teens raised by leftist white grandparents, was abandoned by his leftist mom who then died, tried discovering himself in college, and got indoctrinated and used instead.
He then got seduced by attention and acclaim by the left, primarily for reading aloud with his good vocal cords.
But, he doesn’t know who or what HE really is. He is a tragic character in the end.
