A good way to conceptualise someone like blob is to imagine some random burgerland sped who is absolutely obsessed with being seen as extremely and totally and utterly and completely Irish.... despite having zero Irish ancestry, zero actual knowledge of anything related to Ireland, and most importantly zero genuine interest or care for Ireland.Bob's outlook is basically all of the worst traits of coastal "liberal"ism (which, unsurprisingly, is rampant in MA). It doesn't matter whatsoever that these particular people that have been getting elected not only don't address the severe underlying issues with the political infrastructure of the US, but actually exploit those problems. It doesn't matter that the effects of American policymaking for the last 5 decades have dumpster fire after dumpster fire. No, what matters is a minority getting elected president and being on the RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY on completely useless social issues while everything else burns. Being on the right side of history means all those pesky dissidents are just non-people subject to your daily 2 minute hate. As far as blobbo and his ilk are concerned Blue tribe is Good Tribe and that is all you need to know.
TL;DR: very generous of you to assume Blob's actually got any kind of rationality for stanning Obama.
This kind of mindset would inevitably result in such a specimen latching on to popular stereotypes of irishness, from alcoholism to catholicism to wife beating to britbong hating to potato worshipping, even if these stereotypes are utterly out of touch and/or straight up offensive and distasteful to actual irish people, and indeed they will openly and loudly double down on loving and celebrating all of this when challenged or criticised, and will immediately begin declaring his critics to be anti-irish bigots or paid english shills, while also extending these accusations towards anyone else who personally pisses him off and unsubtly trying to threaten them with car bombings or kneecappings if they persist.
Under this pretext they will go out of their way to shout the most absurdly embarrasing and offensive statements about what "being irish is all about" including a ten thousand word tweet chain about how lucky charms are the pinnicle of civilisation and how the mcdonalds shamrock shake is proof that irishmen like him will lead humanity into the superior future once those tainted by vile britprod genes are exterminated
When called out by literal irish people whom he cannot prove to be faking it, he will at first plead that he is totally one of them and that he is only doing his job as an irishman by hating brits and protestants and unbeaten wives, and when this universal derision persists he will retreat into passive aggressive sulking about how he has been betrayed by his so called fenian brothers and that he is enduring worse suffering than the potato chip famine.
Now switch "irish" for "liberal" and combine this farcical persona with him being the bitterest and most self pitying autist imaginable and whom explicitly uses this schtick as an excuse to scream for vicarious revenge at the high school jocks who failed to show him sufficient respect, and you have the essence of moviebob
