Power is a metaphysical force, like a trinket in video games corrupting you, once you take hold of it, it takes hold of you. Changing your mind, forcing you to increase it, to expand power. Many fight it, but so long as you grasp it, it will act upon you. This is why term limits are not just good, they're necessary to prevent people from going fully mad.
What libs think power is, yet they still somehow ok with it being handed to already evil people in their "democracies".
The trinket line is really good, it always works lol. Good job!
Lol
