It shouldn’t BE a position that demands respect, it should be viewed as public service. We are their boss, we pay them. (I mean, we used to pay them, before we decided to allow corporations to own politics, now whatever salary they get as a politician is pennies compared to what the lobbyists give them.)

If you look at political leaders and feel the need to use Midjourney to make a picture of them shirtless and muscular and oiled up while killing terrorists, you have a serious mental handicap.
