This is both true and a grave danger to our republic. We’re not MEANT to be “ruled.” We’re meant to be REPRESENTED.

Human nature never changes. The Roman Republic morphed into the Empire. Elites like the prestige of being in the Senate or being elected Tribune, they just didn’t have the guts to make actual policy decisions. They left that to the emperor. After enough generations, the Senate became irrelevant, then it stopped meeting altogether.
