npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a highlights an obvious flaw in modern democracies
Parties & their supporters on either side of the spectrum usher in new powers without thought of the risks of who might wield them in the future
Rather than reversing the extra powers the last side granted themselves, they grant their own side even more powers to counter the power grab of their opponents
It's both idiotic & depressingly predictable
But the real issue is not the short-termism of politicians who come & go, it is the long-term incentives of the growing bureaucratic class who prevail, accumulating more & more power along the way
It is the bureaucrats who have the strongest incentive to ever expand their power, simply printing money to support useless & damaging overreach
Voting harder doesn't fix this
