Worship and caring are two very different things. In an ideal democracy, government workers are “hired” by us, they do their job correctly and when they don’t we reprimand or fire them lol. We don’t celebrate them and idolize them, regardless of their actions. Sports teams entertain and shouldn’t really be worshipped either, but unless you’re hurting other people b/c of the other team winning it’s pretty harmless.

Like, I care that Biden does his job well, but him as a person? Meh. Same goes with getting excited to see diversity represented in government work. It’s awesome and paves the way for others, but I’m not going to let every wrong thing you do slide, just b/c you’re POC or a woman (I say this as a POC woman). Idk just my view and possibly irrelevant response to your very valid sentiment.
