One of the things that I still don't entirely get is the American idea that they don't have any aristocracy.

I think the real issue with this is that the aristocracy in America has brainwashed the common man into thinking that the well off people are the aristocracy and not the politicians and their obscenely rich owners who operate above the law.

Just look at the BLM protests. I didn't see them protesting in front of Biden's house despite his policies destroying black lives long before Trump got in office.

Or the people who hate landlords. They bitch and moan every time rent goes up, but at no point do they direct their anger at the source of the problem, which is property tax (the thing rent is largely based on).

Then there's the whole vaccine bullshit. The aristocracy got all the peasant mobs to go after people who didn't leap at the chance to inject themselves with unknown chemicals, claiming that they were the ones keeping society from returning to normal. Innocent people's lives were destroyed by this phenomenon. Meanwhile, the aristocrats were flouting the very laws that they set in place and no one even threw a brick through their windows.

I think one of the problems with the constitution is that the founders either didn't predict or didn't prepare for an aristocracy when they founded the country. A lack of ability for vigilante justice means that the state has the ultiimate power to dispense justice. This inevitably leads to corruption, because while the state might guard our country, who will guard the guards?
