one of the UK’s houses of parliament is called the House of Lords. To them, democracy is a little treat that the rabble can have as long as they behave themselves.

Alexander Hamilton and his whole cadre were often pretty explicit about keeping poor people away from power

Washington sent troops to the frontier to stop the Whiskey rebellion

Do they count? Their document nevertheless started with “We the people”

This guy maybe? Renamed a bunch of things with the names of himself and his family members, including the word for bread. Got a gold statue of himself built. Put himself on the money and made his autobiography required reading in schools. He still talked up the need for democracy as far as I know, but didn’t seem very good at masking that it was a weird dictatorship.

I mean, shit, I know the economist is evil, but they’re usually evil in a way that at least pretends to respect the intelligence of their audience. This is the most baby-brained shit I’ve seen from a major newspaper.

It’s a good sign. It’s them being bitter and angry, and lashing out. They only do things like this when they’re losing.

Sure, the politics The Economist would like to see is losing, but it seems to be much more to the type of politics represented by the other people on that list. Maybe in Latin America we’re seeing good signs for another sort of pink tide, but overall the situation is pretty grim.
