I have been trying to wrap my head around how people let bullies and people of no caring be leaders. I can only guess a couple of reasons, one being that they are generally afraid and at least people who bully appear to be fearless, which is wrong in most cases since most bullies when called out, generally reveal their own cowardice. The second guess I have has to do with plain ignorance. If someone who is forceful about their policies comes off as appearing knowledgeable, many people will accept their premises without checking them. The short cut method when actual research into claims is not what some people wish to do. A failure to protect their own sense of knowing what is as opposed to what others tell them things are. So I guess I boil it down to fear and laziness. How is it that, arguably, the greatest country in the history of the world, possibly the Universe, can have let it's guard down so much that it is either afraid of reality or too inclined not to care for sure? I guess the perception that I have is that we are a group of citizens who feel a sense of entitlement based upon some idea of birthright. Since we were obviously, snark, born in America we are somehow better human beings than those who were not? Is that it? A philosophy of ego that supersedes logic and the maintenance of our own personal sense of reality? We let people who are driven by their own set of priorities that have less to do with us and more to do with them lead our country? Well some of us care not to but enough of us don't care enough, therefore we get ego-driven brutish souls who have no real good intent to be admired as an example of humanity and instead they glorify themselves with the appearance of being good stewards.
