    Oh jesus christ.

    Cant yall motherfuckers chill out?

    I get it. You would love to live in a utopia where nobody ever, ever, ever, tries to grasp for power. So would I.

    But… come on. Reality is a sonofabitch. And maybe you should try and live in it every now and again.

    At no point will we ever experience someone not trying to grasp at the roots of power.

      Dad was always taken aback by people who lust for “power”. LOL, he was mad at people who designed parking lots to herd us around!

      But I get it. A leader has to have some bit of narcissism to say, “I can do this. I’m smart and capable enough to take the reigns.” Comes with the job.
