    i think they’re talking about a leader snatching up power to make themselves an all-powerful ruler. where the power comes not from a mandate of the masses but from a wet tart throwing a sword at you absolute authority.

        yup. we would prefer the power of this nation to live amongst the people rather than allow it to coagulate into a single person or position. unfortunately with what amounts to actual monarchists in control of all three branches of government, we are on the backfoot.
