The founders were egoists - they were a product of the enlightenment, which embraced (rational) man and rejected stable traditions dating back thousands of years. Rather than institute a domestic form of aristocracy, they went full retard by implementing a republican democracy. Oh sure, they felt they were clever enough to build in safeguards, checks and balances into the constitution, but it proved easily corrupted by adopting full franchise.
What should have happened was Washington should have ascended to Augustus, naming Adams as Caesar. The first 10 or so presidents would have followed pretty much the same line, but the empire would have remained stable while the republic began to diverge. The horrible three amendments passed during the progressive era would have never been discussed, much less incorporated. And let's not discuss the current open borders policy and wholesale voter fraud.
But here's the thing - history isn't static. People don't just take their sh!t sandwich and eat it without complaint. The system of US governance will correct at some point, and the form it takes will most likely mirror what should have been instituted 250 years ago. On a long time frame, consider how that short period would just be a minor blip in the 2k year period of the Roman empire (counting the east as a continuation).
Europe is on the move, and great things are apace on other fronts as equilibrium seeks to find balance. The panel of deep state traitors at the memorial may well be one for the archives after the reset is completed.
Roman Empire was a blink of an eye comprised of too few Patricians and citizens who were bought-off for cheap labor. Once the welfare State dried up, it was easy pickings because the citizens were too few and the cheap labor express could care less. Holy Roman Empire does not equal the Roman Empire btw. City-States and Balkanized realms does not make an empire.
Also, due process and Natural Rights in favor of perverted prerogative adjudication mires any form of earthly monarchy. Screw that, administrative law is bad enough, the Monarch’s court is a lot worse.
But we can't blame the Founders for that asininity. I'm not the only woman who rues the day women got the vote, without which we would not have legalized mortal sins like abortion and gay marriage in this country. And don't get me started on the welfare layabouts and illegals voting.
