He is known for his insatiable
Need
For drama.
Histrionics
Are his drug.
He requires frequent dosing
Of idolizing
Chants by crowds.
He does not believe in
Science
Or in reason
Or in truth,
Which to him detract from
The ardent fervor
He craves as complete
Fealty
Proof.

This describes all politicians very well. I remember ex-President Obama had Roman columns built around his stage!

Ah, I am sure there are aspects in many politicians that crave attention and thrive on feedback from crowds. I guess they won’t be in this if they were shy introverts. While I don’t know if I can say it describes all politicians, probably many of them do fit aspects of this, or are at risk for becoming it.
What’s quite clear to me is that some in current government around the world stand out more than others in their utter reliance on others’ adoration of their person and expectation of complete fealty and disregard of science or facts. Seeing that level of insatiable need makes me sad. Have a lovely rest of the weekend!
