if yer too dumb, or too frightened, or too lazy to get democracy, then you will be ruled by an elite.
elites are invariably entitled, selfish, often brutal, always greedy. letting them rule is profoundly stupid, and ultimately suicidal. and there is where you are at.
there can be no elite, without a passive, hopeless and ignorant mob, and there is where yer at.
this is why societies die.
democracy is rule by the citizens, through referendum and initiative. and you ain't got it. i'm afraid it's too hard for you.

the constitution was written by a sociopath named madison, who had to be clear about the aim of the proposed document, in order to sell it to like-minded grandees of the post-revolutionary nation.
it was written to ensure the rule of wealth, he said so. he pointed out that the people would never have a voice in the management of the nation, that was undesirable as it would lead to the 'opulent' being taxed to support the indigent. it was explicitly a document to legitimate the rule of the rich. look around you, open your eyes - it worked!
and there was a certain amount of weasel words embedding slavery in the economy of the nation, too.
appealing to the 'founders' as a standard of public probity is absurd. the nation was established by men smarter by far than trump, but equally crooked. so smart indeed, that jefferson is widely admired to this day.
inquire into the private life and correspondence of this person, and you will find a hypocrite of breath-taking range and consistency.
usa was literally born to support slavery, plutocracy, and ethnic cleansing.
holding the 'founders' up as public models is insane, they should be introduced to school children as the shame of the nation.
trump is in the same mold, merely different in being notably dumb. defective people show up in every aristocracy, in every demographic. in a monarchy, they can be king.
in the usa, they can be president.
