The Galactic Senate was a bunch of lazy senators who took naps instead of doing their jobs, and they picked a Supreme Chancellor who turned out to be a sneaky, scheming snake.
"The Senate was like my math class, full of people who didn’t want to do the work.", @SenatorLaziest
"The Senate let Palpatine be Chancellor like he was the class clown who got away with everything.", @ChancellorSneaky
"The Senate didn’t even notice the Empire was coming because they were too busy fighting over donuts.", @SenateDonutFight"
