You're right.

Besides, following the elections process, their whole process is based on a cult of personality. Not just Trump, but every candidate. Kamala, her VP candidate, etc. You see them in these big conventions with huge crowds of people holding up signs and spokespeople cheering them on. It's like they're celebrities. It's fucking wild. You don't see this in any other country. (Thankfully)

It's honestly scary. Politicians shouldn't get this kind of celebrity status. Politics should be something that regular people can get involved in to improve society through collaboration. Not something reserved for nepo babies who rise to fame because of their name or heritage. It should be something accessible to the average Joe.
