I hope you plan on living a long time if you ever expect to see a leader that unifies the opinion of the population and appears 'strong, righteous and admirable'
Ever since the birth of social media, there hasn't been a leader in the free world that hasn't been on the end of a polarised public. People are too keen to jump on the negativity bandwagon and bag the shit out of, ridicule, personally attack and debase their leader rather than swallow a little bit of pain, a little bit of pride and a lump of humility that the other side won and get in line. This has made politics in the western world a popularity contest rather than a policy debate.
I'm not pointing the finger at anyone here, shit, I'm guilty of it myself at times, but as a collective public we're all the tail wagging the dog, we are the dividers.
