Do the Media & Entertainment Industries fabricate Idols for us to worship?
Simple answer is yes. From the time we are children, we are taught about what a hero is, who a hero is, and to give deference to these heroes.

Can Politicians become Idols?
Yes. And they are fabricated by the Media Industrial Complex to look like our saviors. They are not. It’s just an image created for public consumption by Media Professionals. Once we understand that, we can start to objectively look at real character and motivations of the person, not what we were taught to think and believe.

Closing
Politicians are just people. They are imperfect, flawed, and often more inclined to live a life of immorality due to the increased temptations thrust upon them.
No politician should be Idolized. None. We must step back and evaluate what motivates them. Money? Power? Morality? Everyone is motivated by something.
In Ron DeSantis’ case, the Media Team around him has done an excellent job of recreating Ron’s image from that of an ordinary Congressman to a champion of the people. But is that actually true? No.
If you have read through this Substack, you know DeSantis stabbed Trump in the back after Trump secured his 2018 narrow victory by campaigning for him. You also know about Bill Gates’ Frankenbugs, his weird position on the 2020 Elections, and his support for Government mandated quarantines and medical treatments. That is the real Ron DeSantis they do not want you to think about.
You need to decide who defines your reality. You, or some slick Media Team hired to fool you.
