If there's no power then why did so many line up to bring gifts and kiss the ring of a certain vindictive, convicted felon turned President?

Just because no one is in charge, it doesn't mean favors disappear and it doesn't mean no one can throw a wrench in your system.
It really sounds like you're trying hard to define a square circle. Your argument isn't even self consistent because what you described sure sounds like someone has power...
Nope. It's perfectly consistent. No one has much power at all. No one is in charge, there is no greater power sitting above us all calling all (or even most) the shots. To use someone else's term, there is no cabal.
You seem to conflate "no one is powerful" with "no one has any power in any situation at all".
Never said equal, just that no one has much. It's just not that hard of a claim to understand. No need to twist oneself into a pretzel.
