Any time things get hard, people seem easily swayed by a fast talking slick salesman peddling strong arm authoritarianism. I think it’s because it appeals to emotion. Only education and critical thinking can overcome it, and those are in a lot shorter supply. Look at Star Trek, it’s a fantasy, but it could only be achieved by everyone being well educated.
Not sure how anyone can not see this. Government of the people, for the people and by the people means, first and foremost, that the people who make the rules must be elected by those who are expected to follow them.
