Messianic Hopes Disappointed
No, really, Hah!
What is it with people who actually put their hopes in politicians? You'd think that a social scientist might have shown a touch more skepticism - if you didn't actually know that almost all employed American social scientists were already registered members of only one party and therefore have their hearts broken over and over again by the sad fact that something like a minority of their countryfolk always ever with them.

Humans seem genetically programmed to want to BELIEVE. In a post-religious age, some elect to place their faith in political figures and causes, others in athletes or "celebrities". Disappointment seems inevitable.
