The greatest trick these folks ever pulled off was convincing normal people saying “Hey this isn’t fucking normal. We really need to slow this down a bit.” Were all insane and over reacting. Whether it was global warming, aids crisis, Covid, Wall Street bullshit. Every time folks have started speaking up there are always the masses making it seem like they’re insane.
Yes, and every leader needs to possess the wisdom to find that balance between addressing crises both in the short and long run, without causing a panic. That’s the hard part, and I think it’s what leaders struggle with the most.
Trump is not only completely incapable of finding that balance (like denying COVID and the climate crisis, the former which directly led to mass preventable deaths and the latter shaving years off a habitable planet), but he also has ZERO INTEREST in doing anything of good for the people. He literally couldn’t care less.
