There was a slight embarrassment in the political corridors this week with the announcement of the Yesh Atid election committee that Yair Lapid will continue for another term as party chairman, after no one put his candidacy in front of him. And Lapid's victory was accompanied by a strange aroma.
But in light of the electoral achievement, the question arises as to why there are actually no Lapidists?
Or why are Lapid's supporters not called that, as Bibists call opposition Netanyahu's supporters?
If we examine who is a babysitter, at least according to the qualities attributed to him by publicists and politicians, we will find a man who supposedly suffers from severe admiration for a leader regardless of his conduct, who is willing to forgive him for any crime for continuing his tenure. The leader from the ranks of the party.
Is there a politician, party and supporters more suited to this description than voters have a future?
Lapid's control, as proved this week, is unquestionable and devoid of any democratic semblance.
Criticism of the supreme leader in a bad future is rarer than snow in Tel Aviv, and even if you dig and search really hard, you will not be able to find a stumbling block against him from party members or supporters.
The few who dared to think differently from what was expected of them, and certainly to express it in public, such as Ofer Shelach and former MK Adi Kol, were thrown into the political desert.
The silence surrounding Torch's conduct is also complete.
Appointment of relatives to prestigious positions?
Completely natural.
Violation of any possible election promise?
Nothing and nothing.
A dizzying zigzag of contradictory statements on a weekly basis?
A reasonable result of heavenly leadership.
Torch can not be mistaken, and if he did, there was probably a reason for it.
And if you say otherwise - the leader will already make sure to mark you the way out of the party.
Lapidism is all that the "biblical herd" is supposed to be, and much more.
But while these are met with contempt and ridicule and treated as if they were blind and demented, you will never hear the word "Lapidists."
It simply does not exist, and the reason for this natural phenomenon is simple.
The word bibism is actually euphemism, one that says one thing but actually folds into something else.
Sometimes Mizrahi, sometimes settler, and from time to time ultra-Orthodox, but it will always be someone who thinks wrong, unenlightened, unsophisticated and very, very herd-like.
And supports Torch?
He can not be like that at all.
Lapidism is a reasonable, individual and progressive movement.
There are no Lapidists, because the choice to be like that is natural and desirable, it is good for us, it is the sane future of us all.
And if you decide to think differently?
It's probably just because you're a babysitter.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
