What's some really unpopular opinion you have?

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

I could probably do a better job running your country than the guy you elected since I know when to give the problem to someone more qualified.

I used to think like this but now I realise that being in power is much harder than I thought, especially in the context of a democracy. Inevitably, in order to get something done, you usually need the cooperation of your political opponents, which usually requires to make compromises that you're uncomfortable with or make you go back on campaign promises.

That said, I think I could do a better job than Trump since I think I could at least manage to not put myself in so much legal trouble.

I depends on the country, but definitely yes. And this is even more the case if you said “your city”. Most local politicians are just straight up bad.
