    It’s never been the big politicians who lead movements in the US, unless they came into office because of a movement. Even JFK didn’t do civil rights until the movement was big enough.

      Yes, because US politicians are always opposed to change until it is forced upon them.

      Yet in other countries political figures can, in fact, lead political movements. Why is the US different?

        Because the system is different.
