> When is the rest of the right going to give up on heroes in politics
It'll never happen with any intention. It's engrained in American culture to idolize figures and celebrities, and it's especially popular in politics to assemble our little "Justice Leagues" of grinning Shabbos goys. Americans have been raised to think "Someone from the gov't should do something about that." We have a catered culture of dependance, not a culture of autonomy. People can see an emergency unfolding in front of them and their first thought is "somebody should do something about that" ... after taking out their phone to record it, of course. People love their political "superheroes" because having them around means those people can go back to sleep. "Don't worry, Trump will take care of everything. Let's go watch the sportsball game."
I’m hoping Gen Z doesn’t have the same reaction. Nobody who is under 40 should have that reaction since the vast majority of that demographic will be working until the day they die, with nothing to show for it. Now in the time for action, not when we are 60 years old
