With close media scrutiny and the 24 hour news cycle creating this vacuum that sucks up any news story that exists, I don’t think we ever will. JFK was the last to get away with it and that’s mostly because he was shot and it was the great American tragedy. He was a good president and he was able to take advantage of television before it became a detriment.
Moreover, with the internet and the thought that 200 people saying something on twitter equals a whole mob of people actually being upset and having a justified opinion on something, literally EVERYTHING will be critiqued and picked apart to the end of time.
If the freaking Great Leader emerged from the woodwork and gathered huge social ideas and pushed for a progressive society, there’d be one person talking about how the Bible described the antiChrist in a similar way, one person saying the person was “fucking gay as hell”, and one person complaining about how there’s not a SINGLE gender-fluid pan-Asian on his cabinet. And all their tweets would be read by CNN.
