| Well in a democracy, your skills don't matter, your charisma does.
Bush's skills are not bad, but he looks stupid and speaks stupid so people hate him. Clinton, on the other hand, despite having sex with a kid and not really doing much, had amazing charisma and could entertain a crowd (using non-sexual entertainment fortunately).
Democracy is about who looks good and talks good. "All talk, no action, makes Mr President a much-loved man!".
Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you. |
