Yes, there are too many malignant narcissists and sociopaths in positions of power. But the bigger problem is the number of voters drawn to them and enablers cheering them on.

But I don't think this is new, and certainly not unique to the US.
Most of history has been dominated by authoritarian leaders. Democracy is not the default state for humanity. We are still in an experiment.
