Is The Politician Dead?

Is the politician dead? Some are asking that question after this extraordinary Presidential election of 2016.

Webster Dictionary says a politician is: a person experienced in the art or science of government; especially : one actively engaged in conducting the business of a government

Let’s think about something for a moment, it seems as if we have more people politically involved than ever before, from celebrities to athletes and many more. Perhaps the amount of technology we have is providing us more time, space to think which leads to forming an opinion. We know in 10 years millennials will be the dominating generation and millennials are the first generation to really have all this technology at hand excessively.

So perhaps in the future, everyone will be somewhat of a “politician.” Now, before some of you leftists bitch about how one needs experience, school and etc to be a politician, remember, the founding fathers were NOT politicians, they were simply ordinary people fighting tyranny seeking freedom for all.

The founding fathers actually had no intention of creating “political” parties. Thomas Jefferson’s original government intent was for the people by the people, no need for different parties, it was the democratic-republic of the United States, freedom for all. That one party/group eventually split due to different desires from certain people, to name one in particular, Andrew Jackson. 

First and foremost Andrew Jackson wanted to pursue slavery which was exactly what Jefferson & them were getting away from. Anyways, back to the original statement/question. Is the politician dead? Have they always been dead? A person who truly cares about humanity will do what is necessary to make things better, no need for a politician label, take Donald Trump for example – not a politician, truly cares about people and now he is the President because he stood up to this modern tyranny we face today.

So what do you think? Do you think the policitian is dead?
