I'm confused about the American Republican party

[kandrathe]

Anyway luckily still most higher positions in society are manned by 'smart people'. But on the negative site, a large chunk of all smart people is also too egoistic....which sadly is human nature......and maybe having a smart narcissistic egoist in charge might be worse than having a dumb person in charge.

Which is the main reason why I'm more in favor of highly distributive and minimalist power sharing. Let each person be in charge of themselves, and each community govern those things they share, then trickle the remainder upwards to State and Federal as needed. This way, according to your view of humanity, the major idiot in charge of your life would be yourself.
