    The funny thing is, he kinda is. I mean not really, but his whole point in running was, “see, I can do anything, and they just fucking let me. This is the dumbest system ever, and you morons all love it.” To which they cheered.

Why that is, is a question for sociologists but I personally believe that even narcissists understand that something is wrong and they truly hope that someone will stop them, even though no one ever does.
