"This one quick trick beats DEMOCRACY! The people hate it!"

Not really "turns out;" even our founding fathers understood that democracy isn't flawless, and that one day we'd need another revolution. This is why the second amendment was added in the first place, they just didn't anticipate how pacified we'd become as a people in 250 years. Not entirely our fault, of course - there's a reason "violence is never the answer" was repeated to us ad nauseam for generations. I imagine many parties were held in various mansions when they realized we actually believed it.

Well it is incorrect. There's a cabal of old pedophiles who publicly run the world!
