People in power are there because people, rather the citizens put them to. As some questionable characters are in power due to most people especially the good ones are silent. The bad ones are loud with their irrational thoughts and false facts. They did not wish to hold the person they supported and voted for to be accountable for some of the mishaps that could have been properly avoided if the people in power did their job properly. We valued loyalty so much that it has been intoxicating to the point that we settle for less not because we think we deserve it, but because you held on it for so long that you don't know what to hold onto if they let go.
Praise the right, and condemn the wrong. how hard it could have been? We should not classify people, especially those in power, as black and white. There is no such thing as a person who is pure evil or pure good, so we should not act like the people we put in power can be pure good to the point that we justify their stupidity. Everyone is a grey character as all will make a mistake and we hold them accountable for that. Not tolerate their lack knowledge or care to an imposing threat.
At the end of the day, we hold the people in power accountable for their misdeeds and praise them if they did something right. They need not be defended, they can very well do that for themselves. Call them out, don't turn a blind eye for loyalty.
