Then you’ve totally missed the point of freedom and democracy.
Collectively, our leaders are very much “average” people. Some are super smart, others are ignorant and stupid. Some are great leaders, others are petty and vindictive. Some are well-educated, some are Majorie Taylor Greene.
And let’s be clear - society isn’t collapsing. Freedom and prosperity are collapsing.

We have the liberties we have because average people in the past knew otherwise. Union workers, revolutionaries, mass political movements, terrorists, soldiers, and civil servants. If the system steers society towards collapse, we all have to change the system by the least violent means available, which is sometimes a violent civil war.
