I don't know how to express this feeling I have properly so bear with me. I kinda hate the reference of political office as a job. It's not really a job. It's a position of societal power. One that should come with, frankly, deadly consequences when people in that position of power start talking like this. This is a branch of the government saying fuck the courts and their decision. There should be blood over that. Equating it to a job just rubs me wrong. Not to shit on you, I have no problem with what you said, I agree with it even. Just expressing general thoughts

Yeah, a duty to hundreds of millions of people and the future, that one has to volunteer for and convince a plurality of their fitness for... not just a job that you should be able to neglect, let alone subvert.

the people have a duty to punish those that abuse that position

That's actually how democracy is understood in France ! The office you hold is a privilege and a responsibility : executive power delegated to you by the will of the people, underpinned by the rule of law.

You know your country political idea/marketplace of idea is turning to shit when the majority yearn for a providential man that will fix all their problem with the magic wand of repression and prejudice.
