The political interpretation is way off
Being a lightworker requires not only the capacity of bringing peace to the world, but also of fighting evil when required (who was the greater lightworker: mild Chamberlain or vicious Churchill?). Obviously political leaders are frequently darkworkers, but this is true across the entire political spectrum. This is why I find the comparison to the current US administration selective and way off-course, not to mention the shameful comparison to Nazis (which could only be made by someone who's never faced true evil).
It is easy to be a pacifist when others are protecting you (say in Europe after WWII - protected by the US), and to not see that force (or geographical isolation) secures peace, and that this has been the case throughout history. While the media portrays the Iraq war as an unmitigated disaster while completely failing to report the progress being made there, and excuses are offered for Arab violence, almost no one seems to notice, for instance, the appalling treatment of women in Arab countries or the fact that there is no culture of Tibetan suicide bombers, despite brutal oppression.
One of the highest responsibilities of true lightworkers is the preservation of the civilization which has given them their life, freedom, good fortune, and ability to think independently and fulfil their calling, however imperfect this civilization may be. This is not done by being cowardly and acquiescing to destructive influences over it while blaming those who attempt to stand up for it (again, however imperfectly), but by fighting, when needed, for its preservation.
