But we can vote them and their enablers out.

They live in a different world. Of "privilege".

Even the founders were upper crust and IIRC only let landowners ( no doubt slave owners in many cases) even vote.

Equality, respect for all, and unbending fairness are hard for many (assholes) to comprehend.

Leaders set the example and tone. MBA's are taught that leaders set the culture. And it's true. They just set the wrong culture in too many cases.

Greed and list for power destroy others, and ultimately, the holder of them.
