Those quotes are about government itself, not leadership. Government is a necessary evil, but that does not mean that heroic men can’t be in charge of governments. Government by its nature is corrupting of those in power so anyone who does good when in charge has a certain heroism.

We should have statues aplenty of Washington, Churchill, and in future years Zelensky.

Wordplay.

I did not say all government leaders are necessarily evil (though all men are fallen and corruptible). The fact that we need government leadership is a necessary evil.

As I said before, the founding fathers realized this and structured the government to account for this.

Nothing woke about this.
