OPINION
X (formerly Twitter) has become a buzzing arena where debates, opinions, and narratives flow endlessly. As the electioneering season gains momentum, electoral tension and public hysteria are beginning to grip citizens. A stench of political opinions now hangs heavily across timelines, with ideological fumes both pungent and polarizing.
Yet, beneath the noise lies a pressing concern: Have our political loyalties drifted from the realm of ethical conviction and thoughtful judgment? Increasingly, they appear to be driven by tribalism, personal interest, raw emotion, manipulation, and, at times, ignorance.
We are witnessing a wave of leadership that no longer feels compelled to uphold ethical standards. Some leaders steer public sentiment using fear, scapegoating, or inflammatory rhetoric and still find themselves surrounded by enthusiastic enablers, people who cheer them on regardless of the consequences. Truth, balance, and integrity have become casualties in a game obsessed with power and performance.
The once noble political arena has degenerated into a hostile battleground of us versus them, leaving little room for reasoned discourse or moral grounding.
And so we must ask: Do we still have a political conscience? Do we weigh the moral implications of our votes, our voices, and our loyalties? If not, the harder question follows: How did we get here? And more importantly, how do we return?
