If we legitimately voted for them then the only ones we can blame are the voters
This is the most correct statement.
The people who would be good to lead don't usually run for office.
The people who are corrupt or just puppets, are the ones who run for office.
Very few of the politicians are good at their job.
Dealing with the idiocy, first hand, while working for the government, it's very easy to see why shit like this happens. People quite unqualified or plain lazy are responsible for budgeting.
Politicians can still have the understanding that surrounding yourself with good people will fill in any gaps in their knowledge. If politicians are truly skilled at reading people in order to give the voters what they want then they should also be good judges of character for they people they surround themselves with. Unless that's impossible, in which case it really is a dog and pony show and there's nothing we can do but live our lives to the best of our abilities.
Ancient saying says the universe is already perfect, little we can do to influence that perfection, thus our leaders are of that same perfection, as effed up as it seems. We get what we deserve.

While I agree, I think what's happening today is mostly surrounding themselves with the "swamp." Even Trump was guilty of this. Cronyism instead of a meritocracy.
For example, there were multiple Epidemiologists who disagreed with some of Fauci's recommendations. From Ivy League institutions and medical networks. But no one listened to them because it wasn't more power for the government.
Vaccines are incredibly profitable and the power that comes from the lockdowns has intoxicated the leadership. The two circumstances have created a binary snowball of shit.
