“...a safe prediction might be that they would be a classic aristocracy in a few more generations.”
Yep; that’s the whole point.
We fought King George III for our liberty, and congress has been taking it away daily, bit by bit.
Since we think alike, I’m thinking the Declaration of Independence lays out for us the ultimate course. An intermediate step is taking over the republican party OR starting a new one OR taking over one of the 3rd ones.
My sense is the first option is the one held out as our only real alternative. My other sense is that a CAUCUS within that party that refuses to endorse would be another way.
