I’ve been saying this for years. We need a Jesus or MLK like character to come in and lead. The majority of people on both the right and left agree on pretty much everything. It’s the talking heads that divide us. I’ve worked in blue collar and white collar environments and I’ve gotten along with everyone, even though some blue collar people have very backwards beliefs. They aren’t actually bad people, they’re just extremely gullible.

There are millions of people ready to act on both sides they just need someone to inspire them. We need someone who can unite both sides against the true enemy. Until we have someone who can speak on all levels and inspire both the left and the right we are fucked.

Another problem is that people that are naturally talented or charismatic or driven are called tryhards. We berate talented people and we bring them down to our level. I’ve seen it happen so many times. There’s a reason we don’t see inspirational and awe-inspiring people as often as we used to. Unless the person is born in an upper class family and grew up very privileged, there’s very little chance we’ll find someone charismatic and talented enough to lead.
