      It’s funny how the tribalism of those demanding unwavering support of The Chief is very much a walk back from the spirit of Democracy (“they represent us”) and into Monarchy (“we owe fealty to them”).

      The less Democratic a country is - and hence the less representative its leaders are - the worse this shit is.
