I know the point of representative democracy.

  I am saying that your suggested course of action might be morally superior, but it's hard to get (re-) elected with it. So there's a selection bias amongst the politicians you see in power.

    Agreed that it's in their self-interest to participate in the mass hysteria, but I believe my point still stands that it's an abrogation of leadership.

      There's probably plenty of people who would be happy to be elected leaders but who don't compromise their morals like this. You just never see them elected.
