Of course it doesn't absolve him.

But the point is... if you get rid of the chief...

Does it change the community that hired, defends and supports him?

Yes or no?

Your friends, family, neighbors - people in your community are the problem. The chief is a big, enflamed, pus-filled pimple. But he's still just a symptom.

Downvote me all you want. Until you stand against your right-wing voting friends and family... this is your reality. Won't go away because you wish it was different.

The interplay between leaders and those who choose them goes both ways. Getting rid of a leaders can absolutely change the attitude or mood of a city; especially if the next one is better.

You're right that the local support for right-wing shitheads is part of the problem. But that doesn't mean it's worthless to get rid of a bad leader.
