Blind Loyalty Quotes

“Active loyalists do not merely support the president but publicly defend even his most controversial moves. Passive loyalists retreat from public view when scandals erupt but still vote with the president. Critical loyalists try, in a sense, to have it both ways. They may publicly distance themselves from the president's worst behavior, but they do not take any action (for example, voting in Congress) that will weaken, much less bring down, the president. In the face of presidential abuse, any of these responses will enable authoritarianism.”

“I do not want your blind and rigid loyalty towards my ideas, I want you to explore, I want you to expand, I want you to expand to such an extent that even my ideas become obsolete.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mücadele Muhabbet: Gospel of An Unarmed Soldier

“A patriot's heart beats with the love of justice, not the noise of blind allegiance.”
― Aloo Denish Obiero
