Yep.

The ruling elites have always controlled the peasant class until a couple guys in a couple colonies in North America said screw this. They threw thousands of year of establishment rule on its head. They said We, the people are in control and our rights don’t come from you, they come from God.

We lasted a bit over the predicted 200 years of a democratic based government.

Trump was a last bit attempt to keep this right from becoming wrong but I don’t think we will make it.

Thanks for the laugh. The US emerged from the efforts of the wealthy elitists who had sense enough to keep the important positions from being chosen by the masses. Things went pretty well until the ideas of universal suffrage and popularity contests came into vogue.

“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck.”
