Id be interested to read some legit analysis of the topic if you have any.

I'd agree to an extent, but our current, ancestral concept of hierarchy that we're using in supposedly liberal, democratic societies is passed down from monarchies and authoritarian societies that should be antithetical to modern sensibilities. We're supposed to treat our politicians as simply fellow citizens who have simply been given extra responsibility while the first lesson we ever learn is to do what our parents say without question because they know what's best for us. Then we go to school and learn the same thing for our teachers. Then we get shunted into the workplace where the boss doesn't know what's best for us but they don't have to cause they can just fire you and so you have to do everything they say anyway.
Our whole lives we're conditioned to roll over and accept authority and yet we're supposed to ignore that when it comes to politicians and the government. I don't know how you solve that but we're missing a mental paradigm shift somewhere in there.
