Not sure if serious or not but this impulse is very dangerous collectively. One person cannot get us out of this. Putting that on a hero absolves us from having to actually do the hard work of deciding what would be better and implementing it.

The hero need not do anything besides be the referent of "I'm with that person," as uttered by many different kinds of people. Hashing out the consequences of "so transitively, I suppose I'm aligned with you now"... that's where the hard work is (solidarity, etc) but most of us aren't even considering that stage yet. We're still a bunch of smaller us's squabbling amongst ourselves--just how the powerful like it.
