The Mirror World grants the exiled what the progressive left denied them

Evidence

To return to the original question: What is Wolf getting out of her alliance with Bannon and from her new life in the Mirror World? Everything. She is getting everything she once had and lost—attention, respect, money, power. Just through a warped mirror. In Milton’s Paradise Lost, Lucifer, a fallen angel, thought it “better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.” My doppelganger may well still think Bannon is the devil, but perhaps she thinks it’s better to serve by his side than to keep getting mocked in a place that sells itself as heavenly but that we all know is plenty hellish in its own right. — Naomi Klein, Doppelganger, 366

Categorization

• XREF: Milton’s Lucifer trope maps onto the fallen-leftist-turned-right figure; dovetails with the reader’s interest in how the Mirror World metabolizes abandoned grievances.
• ADDENDUM: Pertinent to the reader’s thesis question — could directly inform the assessment asked for, since it’s the emotional economics of doubling.
