The unfolding tragedy of the American Republic is driven by the fact that the forces presently in control of America’s political life have abandoned respect for the authority of God, and the concept of justice predicated upon it. They have therefore abandoned the substantive aim of the republican form of government the Constitution requires. In the name of a “democracy” the Constitution never mentions, these forces are systematically corrupting the American people. They elaborate an alluring prospect of unlimited personal power, self-willed and self-contained. But once that form of “democratic” power has, in practice, replaced the republican institutions the U.S. Constitution ordains and establishes, those enticed by it will discover that their sovereignty has disappeared.
Too late, they will see that it has been replaced by the age-old form of oligarchic tyranny the U.S. Constitution was supposed to overturn. They will realize that there is no longer a republican party in the United States, or even a sincerely democratic party. Instead, there is one oligarchic clique, which temporarily encouraged the excesses of licentious democracy in order, at its end, to reassert the supremacy of their own.
