I had a great great uncle who got into Tennessee politics in the late 1800s. He told my grandfather “the trick is: own enough land that you can get people to work it for you, so they can farm enough for everything you need above what they’re gonna eat.” Once he established that position, he had all the time in the world to campaign, become the Mayor, etc. Old school landlord strategy.
