Indeed. The mistake is thinking the issue is the strong man. No the mistake is allowing society to get into a condition where a strong man is seen as the only solution. That's where we are.

I firmly believe many on the left are doing nothing as a strategy to build their own support. Provoking violence and thereby justifying left with authoritarianism / power. It's not good. The focus on the people is really the biggest mistake.

The truth is we have erroded our cultural bonds which is largely based around faith to such an extreme that many seem to have lost any moral compass. Its not good.
