Obvious things, but not considered:

1.) Psychopaths are evolutionarily tuned for climbing hierarchies. The ones that are successful can climb political hierarchies

2.) The selection criterion is not delivery, but inducing fear and talking about solution (with no connection to actually solving these "problems")

3.) People fall for it every time. They vote, they are disappointed.

4.) The things you are told to fear are usually not even a problem, and if they are, the psychopaths are not going to solve them.

5.) If someone's idea of solving a problem is to go shoot and bomb some people, you've been duped into a psychopath's power trip. He's not working for you, in fact, they are probably the only thing you should really fear.

Voting will not solve your problems, there are no good choices, learn to solve your problems yourself, or by buying the solutions on the market. Sometimes you have to move - either part of your life (wealth, production) or your whole body. Don't use anything controlled by power trippers from government (especially not their money).

This is the main thing to understand about the current world. Everything else flows from it.

Don't get invested in psychopaths' hierarchy shaking games. They don't work for you.
