(If you're one of these "well acktually neoliberal politics is about promoting awful people to begin with, all power is corrupting" people thinking of replying to this, as if under the belief that this is new and interesting news to me, please don't. This is something entirely different to the norm, so far outside even the neoliberal status quo)
I expect the product of our unequal and capitalistic society to be uncaring and dishonest leaders that choose instead to pursue the interests of those that hold more power and wealth in society. That's a given.
I do not expect it to produce leaders that are so jaw-droppingly incompetent at following even their own goals that they're unable to preempt even the most blindingly obvious outcomes that may result from their actions.
