They will read and watch for power grabbers in government, then oppose them
at every step.:

​Now I can see teaching these things to youngsters, making them pessimistic
and cynical before their times.  Why shouldn't they see reality after a
childhood of fantasy and being kept in a closet, so to speak?  But to
anyone over 30, power grabbing is old hat.  No?

I suggest that what we want is power grabbers who support us and our
issues.  The more power they have, the better for us.  Right?
