This isn’t really an aristocracy. The word ‘Aristocracy’ comes from the Greek ‘Aristokratia’ meaning ‘Rule of the Best’.

What this is is a kakistocracy. A rule of the worst. The Bush dynasty is really some of the worst conservatives have to offer, and the Clintoons are some of the worst the liberals have to offer.
What have they actually done? Jeb is a supporter of Commie Core. Hillary has blood dripping from every appendage.

Neither are fit to be president!

I found an interesting article / commentary written by Tom Clancy in the 1970s. It discussed the “Mote in God’s Eye” and the Co-Dominium series of books. People said we can’t regress back to a monarchy. His article talked about how people crave stability more than almost anything else. They want to be able to plan ahead, know their rights and the law in 30 years.
To summarize, if the dictator does a decent job of ruling after a civil war, he’s considered good. If he passes the job to his son and that guy doesn’t do a bad job, a monarchy is born.
He then presciently prophesied that if the son of JFK road his father’s “Camelot” myth to politics, who would have denied him the presidency? I suspect that if John Kennedy Junior hadn’t died in that plane crash, he would be one of the major political contenders today.
Instead, the media pushes Bushes and Clintons.

The root of this may have begun when we started considering the widows of Congressmen and their adult children acceptable candidates for office. The solution is then banning someone who has a parent or close relative in a position from running for office.
