The Situation
Unfortunately, over decades Western democracies have significantly degenerated or decayed by developing an entrenched caste of lifelong career politicians. Most of these politicians have not not much to show and remain rather unaccomplished! Many of them are just useful idiots and needed to vote as told.
Elections in Western democracies turn out to be too slow a process to weed out those politicians. These politicians often engage in measures to fortify their position and to make it more difficult to challenge them through the electoral process.
But I am digressing ...
The Example Of Donald Trump
Once in a while somebody comes along and challenges the proverbial applecart. Trump with his financial means, entrepreneurial spirit, and cleverness is such a man. Coming virtually out of nowhere, widely underestimated as a lightweight contender and so on … The rest is history.
Thanks to the amendment in the U.S. Constitution that limits the presidency to two terms, there are more opportunities for men and women like Trump.
Why The Endless And Ferocious Witch Hunt Against President Trump?
One reason clearly is that he upset the applecart described above. All lifelong career politicians in both parties are upset by him. Sounds too simple? Maybe not!
Follow the money trail! To be a lifelong career politician is a highly lucrative job! They are invested in their jobs!
Implications
There ought to be more term limits applied to all elected politicians in Western democracies. More citizens ought to have a chance to lead!
