Conor Friedersdorf is a writer for ‘The Atlantic’. Apparently, he has memory loss or blacked out during the Obama Era because he says he is sick of everyone venerating the President like some sort of messiah.
I don’t know why so many people fetishize the president. We elect these people to execute the laws. They are not figures above us who warrant extra deference. They are public employees who serve us at our pleasure. The cult of the presidency has to end. https://t.co/SRqUG2JXN7

If anyone is wondering when this started, it was with Obama and it was led by the Media.

Obama was like a religious experience to these people
you need to research cults more deeply

Look at what happened in 2008 with Obama. That’s a great starting point.
The problem is that we no longer have a functioning congress. We therefore effectively elect a king every 4 years.

Because we don’t have a royal family to absorb that adulation/gossip and we don’t have a common culture any more (other than sports). So in a “diverse” country rather than an ethnically coherent Christian-themed nation…this is what you get.

Politicians have become our ugly and nerdy celebrities.

Never forget.
Pfft. Too many of us on both sides want a hero at president. We want that tingle down our leg.
I just want a dude (or dudette) who will responsibly run the bureaucracy and defend the country.

To be fair, a President won’t ever save a country. People need to stop thinking they will. They can make good changes, but the American people are the ones who will determine the ultimate fate of the country.
The cult of reverence for all elected politicias must end. Including a reduction in their perks

It’s the office of the presidency that is to be revered, not the person. The democratic and peaceful transition of power is a great achievement. We show respect to the person passing through so as not to diminish the greatness of the office for future generations.

This start with Clinton or Obama?

It’s a mystery.
