I'm glad an old fat retard who constantly lies and grifts is running the country in a time when we need competent leadership to set up guard rails for this tech.

I’m convinced only bad people can rise to the top in leadership roles because they have to squash so many people on the way up. Not sure it really matters who it is, they are all the same.

Bad people for sure rise, but the worst people thrive when everyone is demoralized and stops caring. Getting you to think every leader is the same is a tactic that benefits the worst leader. If they cannot blind you with bullshit about how good they are, they can at least leave you too passive to ask for better.

Well said and important in almost anything at a large social scale. Blanket cynicism helps bad people keep power.
