He leads the country by following orders for a country full of people who like to follow orders. People speak of individuality all the time, thinking for themselves, and the importance of these things, but look at how they dress, think, and everything, and what do you find? Most of the time, you will find someone who tries to look like this person and pretends to think and believe the same way as this famous person appears to think and believe. If you call them out on it, they try to make it sound like it’s coincidental or something when it’s clear you are talking to a person who seeks every day to put who they really are and think into a costume that they think people will like more. Why? Because they don’t even believe in or like themselves, so they seek to be the same as those who have fans and audiences. It’s Halloween out here every day, man. And we all are guilty of it to a point, and to a certain point, it’s nothing to worry about. But when you start having huge swaths of people sacrificing their own minds and individuality, and it all begins to funnel into a few "acceptable ideas" and ideals, when it all starts to look and feel like a masquerade, then maybe it all has become one...
