Is the main reason why the left is slowly losing every gain they make or attempts to copy authoritarian rule similar to others down to simple lack of basic competency?

It's the aristocratic tendency to promote their retarded, inbred progeny over competent, meritocratic outsiders so power stays within the clan. Not even Marcus Aurelius, philosopher king and the last Five Good Emperors of Rome, was immune to this.

Then there's generational differences. The First generation builds the wealth, the Second grows it, and the Third are spoiled shits that don't know how to maintain it. Everything usually falls apart after three generations for this reason.

I suspect this is a large part of why Boomers are clinging to their office seats all the way to rigor mortis. The alternative is to put their dipshit children like Justin Trudeau Castro in charge and destroy their decades-long legacy, and that terrifies them.
