They just don't grasp how transitory their own protection from life's hardship can actually be, how close they actually live to total devastation every day. They assume they are totally insulated, and that if they suddenly have trouble, they know enough other people with power who will run to their aid before they ever really suffer, themselves. It doesn't take much to turn a human life completely inside out.
They are proud, without reason, vain, full of hatred toward anyone different from themselves, and ALWAYS moved to feel scorn, contempt for everyone who doesn't agree with them. They imagine themselves as being "superior" to others. It's a delusion they all share, which seems astonishing to every one else.
It always takes the world far longer to put itself together after they have been in power than it took for them to destroy so much progress when they took control. They are quick to harm and injure others, and they never are involved with repairing the damage.
They are "hit and run" politicians.
