I used to, when I was more abled, think about someday running for local office just because I knew from work that I could be professional and fair to people I didn’t like, and thus would do better at the reins of power than lots of petty tyrants on school boards and city councils, and was always stopped by my inability to hide large sections of my life for the sake of getting elected by small-minded, mainstream, inside the box types. Like, lying about that many things would have been so poisonous to me as a person that I didn’t think I could do both that and whatever job I wanted to do for the public.

There are people who seek out elected offices like that, who wind up with power without thinking that that’s the point of existence. The Bernie Sanderses and AOCs of the world still exist. I don’t know that it’s fair to them to be tarred with the same brush as the Orange in Chief or the old guy with no chin, tho.

That Who Goes Nazi quote is hella on the money, tho.
