It (＝ Love of power) is disguised, among the more timid, as an impulse of submission to leadership, which increases the scope of the power-impulses of bold men.

a brief comment
People often desire to have some kind of influence?power in a broad sense, even though the form this desire takes can vary. For example, politicians seek political power, entrepreneurs pursue financial power, and religious leaders aim for spiritual influence over their followers.
However, in any field, it is impossible for everyone to hold power or influence. As a result, some people try to obtain it indirectly by aligning themselves with those who do possess it. This tendency is not necessarily bad in itself, but in some cases, individuals end up exercising unjust power by submitting to authoritarian or despotic figures.
Many of those who pledge absolute loyalty to Trump may fall into this category. What do you think?
