    Oh you’re just being sarcastic since the above poll perfectly describes our fearless leader

    Like Trump would have any chance in 2020 with his ever shrinking base of Moonshine Hillbillies, Aryan Nation rejects, overall wearing rednecks, holocaust deniers, and low IQ hecklers

    obviously NOTHING in the poll makes a GOOD leader, or even anyone i can even imagine why anyone would 'fallow'.

    in one word "humility".
    anyone who can practice real and honest humility, and at the same time, get anyone to actually follow where they lead, isn't just a good leader, but an absolutely miraculous one.

    i do share the op's apparent lack of faith in the idea of there being such a thing as leadership, having too often, almost invariably, seeing bullying called leadership.

    no one needs to be led, only to have access to all knowledge and means of creative expression, and the SELF discipline, to use it responsibly, which means universally considerately.

    that chump somehow got elected would seem to suggest that these are indeed either the american majority or a large enough minority to convince the electoral collage they are.
    and it is that, which is a scarier thought, then all the conspiracy theories put together.

    we can of course, each of us, choose, to not be those kind of people, the inconsiderate kind, who harass everyone who doesn't tell themselves the same lies they do.

    its not a matter of being mad, its a matter of not preferring to be surrounded by a culture of universally mutual harassment, which by any other name, is what tyranny is.

    you mean to say that American discontent with the current administration and its leaders may have some sort of logical, sound, sane grounding after all and it isn't simply dismissible mass hysteria? i am flabbergasted.

    just as a wild guess, most packs aren't nearly that large. however, most of what is implied isn't that inaccurate, just a lot more variable, just as human groups are.
    and the alpha is as often female as male (if not more often). (i would make another wild guess, and that's all it is, that photo shop or the like was used to make the pack larger)

    A good leader will lead people to a place in both space and mind where they no longer need leaders.

    I was afraid it might be but was to lazy to check. I'm wrong.
    Here's the real scoop.
    The pack is real, but the attributes attributed to them in the photo is wrong.
    Thanks for the fact check.
