People who are so desperate for control over others to get what they want, that wealth is no remedy to calm their desires, should never be allowed near actual responsibility, as they view it only as power, not as duty. We all know this, and yet we allow it again and again.
All our leaders should be reluctant, they should want to fix the problems out of a feeling of duty so they can go back to doing things they are more interested in. Currently our “leaders” are opportunists and careerists. If you want to be a leader that should mean an automatic disqualification.
Knowledge is power and understanding psychology is paramount to navigating political waters.
I believe that because I started my studies in psych at 16-17yo it gave me the mental tools I needed to never once think that Trump would possibly be fit for leadership in any form.
Mental illness may play a role, the exposure to airborne lead would impact mental abilities. But a lack of education also heavily plays a role, so many may be suffering from mental issies as a result of things like lead poisoning, but lacking education makes them confidently wrong.
Guidance I got from a Pizza Hut job in 1987: the person who really, really wants to be a supervisor or manager should *never* be the supervisor or manager.
This became truer than true when I entered LE. Most people who want a badge should be nowhere near one. They should be in therapy.
It was one of the more disappointing lessons taken away from my time in service.
I think your observation about streamers/influencers is spot on. There is overlap, for sure. Same sort of need for relevance, attention, authority, respect, etc. Streamers won't pepper spray your balls, though.

Also, most streamers shouldn’t be streamers. They should be in therapy 😭
