Alright.. Eugenics = breeding.
We have a subclass of people who have been born into politics and wealth, and they continue to breed and more children are born into the subclass of wealth-and-power-without-earning-it.
Eventually these people lose touch with the common person and become obsessed with amassing massive amounts of wealth beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. To do so they play games with entire national economies, manipulate markers, move companies (and millions of jobs and livelihoods) around like game pieces, provoke armed conflicts over mineral and drilling rights, and have a merry old time playing "the game."
This culminates in political manipulation on a truly massive scale, to the point where the very government processes of nations is just another part of the game.
Gradually things come to a head over the decades resulting in two slightly different political parties backed by different sources of money -- entire nations worth. One particular country becomes a battleground via politics... out of spite a departing president sets events in motion to trip up the incoming president. This results in a massive terrorist attack, thousands of lives are lost. Remember to these special snowflakes, the lives of the ordinary do not matter, they are just resources to be manipulated.
Defeated in the polls that party puts plans in motion to defeat their rivals using spying, and other underhanded and unethical methods... and this results in a stunning upset the next election cycle. The defeated party puts events into motion bringing the country into potential conflict with it's biggest rival... Meanwhile the media has manipulated the masses to the verge of rioting over race, gender-issues and other nonsensical things like sports scores, the antics celebrities and so on so forth.
The incoming president comes into this mess, totally unconcerned. His opponents have seen through his deceptions and underhanded behavior, and set him up a fine mess indeed. But he is unconcerned as his true masters have his back, and he rolls up his sleeves and begins playing the game..

So we didn't miss out on anything, we are living it now, it's been ongoing since the 1990s and probably before. Ever wonder why we have lifetime politicians who don't die? They can afford the technology to stay alive forever if need be.
Yes this may hit a bit close to home for some, but it's an interesting side trip, and a potential reboot of the concept of the Eugenics Wars. We have here wars being fought by proxy on behalf of those with absurd wealth and power, and no sense of responsibility as they have never been outside of their little world of wealth and privilege. Throw in some genetic manipulation and selective breeding and presto.
