A parent doesn't necessarily knows best or acts with your best interests in mind, and that's really observable by all the toxic parents regardless of whether there's malicious intentions behind their actions or just sheer incompetence.

I'm too European for the rest of your argument and I just happen to be Greek so I fundamentally disagree with the premise that I'm voting a father or mother figure which I must blindly follow out of obligation or blind trust.

I'm not entirely sure if I understand your point, but if you're making an analogy between the president and parents, and citizens and children, then I think that is a terrible way to think of an ostensibly democratic system.

That's a pretty wild analogy that the guy who cheated on his first wife to get with his second wife to cheat on his second wife to get with his nude model third wife only to be subsequently accused of multiple serial sexual assaults and found liable for one of them is a good parent.

The expert he selected wasn't an idiot.

Please, enough with the fascist state paternalism.
