The power of the privileged elite, like capitalism itself, is predicated upon lies and delusion. Their power appears formidable and insurmountable. In reality, it is as tenuous and ethereal as a wisp of smoke. A virtuous man or woman causes them to quake in their shoes and wet their pants. The nation’s rulers are not like ordinary Americans; they are psychopaths. I cannot confirm if they actually believe the lies they have planted in the public mind, but I do know that they have a preternatural fear of truth and mass revolt. They loathe Democracy and Socialism like the plague.

A republic that loses its orientation to reality is hopelessly confounded and lost. It flounders and thrashes without a functioning moral compass. It becomes a nation of dead men walking, destined to cannibalize itself and everything pure, good and decent. Such a republic will not long survive.

All true, but Sullivan is missing the point. The privileged elite WANT the republic to fail. They're ready to roll out a net-state / market-state model to replace it, and the new governance structure, which is based upon yet more lies and delusions, will GREATLY enhance their power.
The revolution WILL be televised, but it will really be a counter-revolution endorsed by and benefiting the psychopaths of the one percent.
