There is a penetrant tendency and a strong social pressure to not violate the consensus of the "reasonable", the poltically correct, the wellmeaning, the do-gooders. I would call it, in reference to some typical German, Merkel-related characteristics in this country here, a tyranny of consensus.

If you always accept to play by the rules of this setting, the tenedd towards the jiddle of this mess intensifies, necessarily. You MUST violate it if you want to break it up; even more so when the established social factions already use quite a solid ammount of pressure and social violance themselves to defend their cozy nests. Play by their rules means guaranteeing that they must not change.

Sometimes you do not get further by playing by such rules, they spell your defeat if you want to change things, and soon you get mercilessly pulled back into the swamp of mediocrity and dilletantism, not to disturb the collectvie around you any longer, and not to stand apart from it. With consensus being enforced again, graveyard peace clouds the minds of people again and nobody asks questions anymore, since nobody has the skill anymore to ask. Sometimes you must swing the sledgehammer and accept to be the wild man, for surgical cleanliness will get you nowhere anymore. The estalbished lobbies and elites are full of cleanly surgeons and coensus-driven career junkeys. And look what a servile breed bare of any imgination and courage to put the rzuling orde rin questio n they are. That too is oine of th ereaosns why "populists" in past years are on a rise. Because more and more people have joined the Be-Pissed-party, for a growing number of different reasons.

Whether it is wise to assume that just one replaced president can fix all that, is another question. But the motivation why people even accept radical options now to enforce a drastic change - that motivation can be perfectly explained.
