Rossi: History’s Warning That Our Great Republic Is At Risk

As Edmond Burke said 250 years ago, “Those that don’t know history are doomed to repeat it”. Therefore we should all pay attention to John Adams’ warning “There hasn’t been a democracy yet that hasn’t committed suicide”. I have been to John Adam’s home and saw his library of 14,000 books that he used to study the 2,400 year history of democracy (at his time) to understand why every democracy eventually failed and the average life of a democracy is 200 years. He did this to help him write the Massachusetts Constitution which was a foundation of the U.S. Constitution. John Adams knew the risk of democracy and he said that he would be thrilled if ours lasted 150 years!

The bottom line is that all democracies are fragile and doomed to eventual failure. Alexander Tytler who lived at the same time as our Founding Fathers also studied the history of democracies and identified the repetitive pattern of failure called the Tytler Curve which you can see below. It should scare the heck out of everybody because it is so logical and we can easily understand that pattern. Take a look at the Tytler Cycle and ask yourself where America is right now on that cycle:

  1. Unless a strong leader arises to counter the left, we will be forced into a communist dictatorship that has the potential to kill 100,000,000 Americans to create the nightmarish new society. The FBI will become our version of the Stasi and the local police will NOT serve and protect the populace.
    And the risk of a strong leader to counter the left is that it will end up in a violent civil war and a potential brutal dictatorship.
    I do not see any future that will not result in the end of this country as we know it.
