In other words, all you have to do is stop them from cheating.
You're not facing some great army of oppressors; you're facing a small band of grifters who only hold power because you're letting them.
So don't let them.

I mean, A for Effort and all, but how weak do they have to be if they need to cheat after prior generations did everything that they could to stack the deck in their favor already?
