Democracy may suck or not, but the way out here isn't through America's elites. Those who would be aristocrats are fully in thrall to the Woke Religion. The most likely result of elevating them would be to create a Maoist tyranny backed by foreign depopulationists; a truly surpassing dystopia. Vid. Rasmussen's survey: https://substack.com/inbox/post/142072180
For your prescription to have a hope of success, America needs first to rebuild an aristocratic class on a different foundation, one that believes in the unapologetic use of power against our failed elites and their tools. This will not happen quickly, but the crisis conditions do exist that may foster and forge it.
In addition, it is a truism that all politics is at core religious. If you do not have Christianity defended by blasphemy laws, you will observably have pagan degeneracy and child sacrifice in various forms, all defended by a rival religion's blasphemy laws. Republicanism or Monarchy will not be enough. Bukele's consistent invocation of God's help for El Salvador is not some kind of accident.
This is an outstanding essay, very well written, presenting quite complex ideas in an easy to digest manner for non-specialists. I suggest that this be reintroduced each Easter, preferable a week or two in advance.
Excellent article.
