Is it a bad thing if a president doesn't inspire passionate devotion?
I didn’t want this to just be about Biden but also looking forward to future presidents. A criticism of Biden is that no one is passionate about him; he doesn’t have “followers”. Is that a bad thing, though? Was Trump’s “cult of personality”, was the fact that Trump supporters stormed the Capitol “for him” or the fact that Trump supporters take criticism of Trump as a personal attack on themselves a good thing?
Before I get the usual evisceration, I’m not saying Biden is wonderful and presidents should be bland and uninspiring. But do we really want leaders that inspire the kind of devotion that Trump did, after what happened?
