Because the least virtuous people are most attracted to power, the longer that any political system persists, the more corrupt it will become.

The Declaration of Independence also says that it is our duty to revolt again if our government becomes dictatorial. And brother, we long past that point.

America is not meant to have a “ruling class.”

The author is flat-out wrong about this. The U.S. was established as an oligarchy by design. That’s why silly, delusional terms like “democracy” don’t appear in our founding documents.

There’s no way in hell iconic men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison ever intended to establish a system of governance where their interests could be subverted to the votes of their hired help.

It is a masterful article.

I don’t fully agree with the following.

“Since WWII, the U.S. has been in an endless state of war from one region of the world to the next without any formal declarations or any electoral mechanism through which the American people may object.”

In my opinion the Congressional authorization to use force in Iraq was a declaration of war in all but name.

The article is much more right than wrong.

I’m sure words were uttered prior to and during the American revolution (perhaps all our wars) that could be challenged as well. It’s been said that it is better to be about right than to be precisely wrong.

We have had a stolen election. The Republican party leadership has not rallied in defense of President Donald Trump. The FBI has morphed into the KGB. Biden is a corrupt dictator. At least half the populace accepts whatever they hear from the propaganda machine. It’s a sad time. Even agnostics should pray for a providential God.
