I have always loved history. But I have often wondered why it repeats itself so often. The only conclusion I can come to is that humanity's biggest flaw is birthing power hungry insane leaders.

It's laziness. The ideal of one man and one god having all the power and answers to take care of scores of people has long been a human tendancy.
Democracy is hard. It requires tons of work, but still is the best system we have. MAGAts got lazy, went back lazy wishful ideal of one man, and one god.
We are in the middle of the difficulties with self-rule. The wealthy have used their means to buy votes and influence, but the majority still have options. We need to carefully examine all of our options and go forth with purpose.
We also have billionaires on our side too, less of them, but they exist.
It always comes down to marketing. The Think Tanks and Dumpy's campaign have been marketing since 2004, and using social media in every language since 2011.
Populist voters vote for a BIG strong image and name recognition.
We have to solve this with good ideas and the support of the majority, that’s democracy. No one person can or will save us. Agreement on values is essential.
It repeats because each time individuals believe their situation is unique instead of viewing the wider picture of reality. It's more pleasant to bury your head in the sand than watch horror unfold. It's easier to believe bad things only happen to other people and places.
