Why do we need a political savior? Because voters have ceded considerable power to the administrative state (the bureaucracy) over which voters have little control. Elections do not really afffect the bureaucracy. It continues to make rules that we all must live by, and which we cannot change. And so, since elections don't influence much, we naturally long for a superhero, ubermensch, who can save us and make a difference. It almost never works.
