Joy Reid posted this quote from Octavia Butler from Parable of the Talents (Earthseed, #2) And it looks like we're hitting on all unfortunate cylinders!
"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."
And I can see all those in Cheetolini (and the people around him).
