Political Messiahs

Some people idolize certain politicians. (Supply your own name.) These politicians are new messiahs come to save us all, and, a priori, they can do no wrong.

I take a different view. Any argument containing the premise that person ‘X’ is infallible is an unsound argument regardless of its validity. And let’s face it, people who see certain politicians as messiahs, always start out with that premise in their political arguments.
