American Plebeian

When the people express sentiments normally reserved for the detached aristocracy, a perverse social order arises. The American Plebeian begins to do the work of the nobility, and speaks against their own interests.

As Niccolo Machiavelli writes, "...in every republic there are two parties, that of the nobles and that of the people; and all the laws that are favorable to liberty result from the opposition of these parties to each other."
