"Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery."

Or do like I've been doing since FOREVER: suspect every goddamn politician and withdraw your power. You were born with it! It's yours! It's not to be given! But be aware, and I speak from experience, this is not an easy path and requires constant vigilance and action. ✌️
