But to blindly follow and then vehemently support your leader to the point of pretending to be a minor leader or influencer yourself is just absurd and offensive.
Ok, I'll agree, but what's the solution as 80% of the people I know (if you define "a minor leader" broadly enough to include passionate discourse over the water cooler) fall into this category? Do we just lavish contempt on the majority of the U.S. or is there a source to this problem that's even deeper and can be dealt with? Humans are inherintly self centered, which leads to viewing life through a filter of what's best for our interests. In fact, our Governemnt is set up to harness this rather than combat it. I guess I'm just rabeling a bit here, but I'd like to end up somewhere better than general contempt for just about everyone around me.
