Is anyone here from a country NOT called USA where they pile up a bunch of people in the background of a politician who then gets applause for everything?
I have literally never seen this in Europe. In Germany, we’d probably consider this “weird” in case our politicians did that. Feels a bit like clicking the thumbs-up button of my own social media post…
Way more important. You treat your politician as celebrities. You need to see them guilty until proven otherwise!
People should never treat politicians as icons celebrities. They are there to work for us. Be please or angered by their policies and decision making, but charisma should not be a factor.
Here in the UK I saw so much of this with Boris Johnson, and still with Farage. I knew a people people who liked Johnson because he’s a bit of a laugh, likeable, whatever. They did not go into reasons of what a politician should be doing. Only his character.
