Narcissistic politicians are absolutely candidates for The Worst Person Ever. Look, I’ve done my best to keep Hoot Deconstructed neutral about a lot of issues, but I can’t stay quiet on this one anymore. It was overshadowed by the repulsive events in Virginia this past weekend, but last week, Donald Trump and Kim Jong-Un got into a pissing contest in which they repeatedly threatened each other with nuclear war. It was disgusting and terrifying.
Here’s the deal. It should be the role of politicians to look after the people they represent. Regardless of your political beliefs, you should expect representation, protection, and a voice for your interests. Not only have these two made it clear that they don’t care about their people, they are playing with nuclear annihilation like it’s some kind of joke. This isn’t funny. You’re casually referencing killing millions of people just to prove that you have the bigger dick. Shame on you. Get over yourselves. Start acting in the interests of your people or step down.
And we the people, how much more of this crap are we going to tolerate? The world has changed. This is that dangerous time in history where technology is bringing us all together, but governments, nations, religions, races, etc. are still tearing us apart. I think it’s time we had politicians who unite us instead of making us see each other as enemies. If this doesn’t start happening soon, we’re not going to make it.
