This election cycle has gotten me thinking about what I want from our political system and why. Mostly I just want a world where when it becomes clear that nobody buys the mainstream narrative anymore, we have a plan of action in place to create something different. I want a more competent brand of evil, basically. As far as I can tell, all of the people in power who aren't in an elected position dream of power for the same reasons I do and are using the same tactics as I do to get it. Am I wrong in thinking that when you have control over millions of people, your tactics should be more sophisticated than a dreamer with no power over anyone? I've decided that if I can't honestly say that I'm jealous of you, you don't deserve to be above me. There's shockingly few people in power who can clear that very low bar.
