 In theory, it makes sense. That is how the system is designed in order to convince people to participate. 

"If only our side won, we wouldn't be in this mess. Next time though, next time we will fix it!"

In every nation state, there is the two party system, which provides the illusion that the system can be fixed. It is no accident that there is almost exclusively a right Vs left party in every country. In the UK, the "right" has been in power for over a decade, yet the result is largely the same as if the 'other side' had been in power. It is because when it comes to policies that would really affect change, both sides are in agreement to the detriment of the average person, whether or not the people realize it. Both sides talk about net zero. Both sides push a larger agenda. If COVID didn't wake people up to this, then nothing will.

A fringe party that isn't part of the duality could upset the status quo, and indeed that does seem to be the case on the odd occasion they do come into power, but they are quickly neutered by globalists with a much larger agenda. Every single time, the dissidents who are a true threat are removed - Gaddafi, and such. It gets easier to pull this off when the majority of a population is brainwashed enough to believe everything is a conspiracy theory, and the state gets more brazen as the years go by. Make no mistake, if Milei or Bukele were to become a true threat, they would be dealt with. Sometimes the globalists have to allow some of it, in order to give people some hope. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the handful of leaders who opposed the COVID narrative conveniently died. Coincidences only ever trend in one direction, which logically tells us they were never coincidences to begin with.

Many people who enter politics do so with the intention of fixing the system. They soon realise this is a fantasy, and they become part of the system. Those who do not, are smeared and ejected.

I think that control of the monetary system is all that ultimately matters, since that is what feeds the beast. Things won't truly be solved until that system is replaced with something that doesn't enable such tyrannical corruption.
