A political and psychological phenomenon where people hate a leader, vote or fight to remove them, then later start wishing they were back in charge — usually after experiencing disappointment with their replacement.
The cycle goes like this:
1. “This leader is awful!”
2. “Let’s get someone better.”
3. “Wait, this is worse.”
4. “Maybe the old guy wasn’t so bad after all…”
5. “We need him back!”
This happens with dictators, presidents, prime ministers — anyone in charge. The Leader Effect is fueled by nostalgia, frustration, instability, and unrealistic expectations.

Man #1: *urinating*
Man #2: *urinating* Hey, Bob.
Man #1: *stops urinating* Stop talking, you're giving me the stopwatch effect.

The sore, aching feeling you get in your chest upon seeing any sad piece of Riley's artwork or writing.

"Ugh, yeah, it gave me the Riley Effect for like, two hours."
