The question is how does this translate into governance. Our founders also did not trust “joe bag o donuts”. That why they gave us a republic. The hoped that moral men would vote their self interest. The Senate, House, Judiciary, Executive branch were all designed to slow progress. The constitution was written to ensure that joe bag o donuts could not create a tyranny of the majority. The whole idea was to ensure that the government stayed out of your hair. Has not worked out though because most people are way to concerned with controlling the behavior of there neighbor. They want the government to smooth away stuff that irritates them about their neighbor at the point of a spear.
So politically, we need a nihilist to uproot the institutions of federalism as we know it today.
