I think you should find a copy of a book written 30 years ago by Michael Lind entitled, The Next American Nation: The New Nationalism and the Fourth American Revolution. It may help sharpen you thinking about the subject. His creation of the term "overclass" should have become more popular that it did. Ah, the perils of being correct too early.

Here is an online copy to whet your appetite. https://archive.org/details/nextamericannati00lind

Your best article; yet, Thomas!

Sharing with my local Democratic Committee and my son so that he may understand better.

The Roman Empire maintained a lot of the trappings and institutions of the late Roman Republic. There still was a Senate, elections, a cursus honorum, etc., just they no longer mattered much.

Absolutely not. The US is a British colonial settlement. Oh, the Constitution was written by genocidal, enslavers aka British Lords. Land back!
