yeah, it's cute. But it's kinda why the politics are screwed up. Imagining a heroic pure-of-heart savior doesn't help. We're the polity and in many ways earn what we get. What has any of us done that would create the conditions for such a paragon to appear? There is violent disagreement about goals, vastly different views of reality and quick readiness to demonize opponents. We compare 'politicians', especially those who arn't 'ours', to your imaginary friend you propose and justify yet more cynicism and less cooperation
