Article 1: We the People vs. the New Kings – Standing Up to Modern Tyranny
Series: The Deadly Cost of MAGA Rule
The Feudalism of MAGA: From Presidents to Tyrants
Throughout history, power has been hoarded at the top by kings and queens, lords and ladies, emperors and popes, gods and tyrants. These self-appointed rulers proclaimed that they alone held divine right, that the heavens chose them to command the masses.
But let us be clear: this was always a lie.
The truth, both political and spiritual, is simple:
We the People are the true sovereigns.
And today, our sovereignty is under siege.
Trump and his MAGA allies are not governing—they’re dismantling. They’re not preserving liberty—they’re extinguishing it, one right, one protection, one law at a time. They’ve replaced democracy with a form of corporate feudalism, where the rich rule and the rest of us labor under their golden boots.
From Magna Carta to Mar-a-Lago: A History of Power and Resistance
We’ve seen this play before. The Magna Carta of 1215 was the first shot across the bow, forcing King John to recognize that no ruler is above the law. The American Revolution picked up that flame in 1776 and set it blazing across the globe with the Declaration of Independence:
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it…”
But the American Revolution, noble in rhetoric, was corrupt in its compromise.
⚠️ Historical Insight: The Founding Deal Was a Pact Between Elites—at the Expense of Nearly Everyone Else
While Jefferson wrote of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” the U.S. Constitution quietly shifted it to “life, liberty, and property.”
Why?
Because of the men who wrote it, “property” meant slaves, land, labor, and yes, women.
To secure unity, James Madison and the Federalists brokered a silent accord:
- The South would keep its enslaved Black population.
- The North would retain control over its poor immigrants, indentured servants, and working-class farmers.
- Women would be denied all autonomy: no vote, no voice, no freedom. Married women were legally absorbed into their husbands, barely distinguishable from slaves.
This was not a democracy for all. This was oligarchy in parchment clothing.
The elite sent poor men west to kill Indigenous peoples, seize land, and then carve it up for themselves. Both North and South expanded their empires through blood, subjugation, and a brutal caste system.
And now? That system is still with us—rebranded, retweeted, and draped in red caps.
The Constitution Was Clear: We Are the Rulers
Trump is not a president—he acts like a king. His allies behave like nobles. He sees the courts, the media, and the people as pawns.
But we are not pawns.
We are not subjects—we are citizens.
We are not owned—we are sovereign.
And we are not going back.
Kings Must Serve the People—Not Consume Them
Democracy was never meant to revolve around one man. It is intended to reflect the will of the many, not the whims of the few.
When leadership becomes a dictatorship,
When governance becomes exploitation,
When justice becomes selective—
It is our right, and our duty, to rise.
We Are Many, They Are Few: Reclaiming Sovereignty
This is not a call to violence.
It is a call to remembrance.
A call to unity.
A call to reclaim what was always ours—not just legally, but spiritually.
This Earth, this nation, this moment belongs to all of us, not the self-anointed kings of gold and grievance.
Closing Quote
“We are not subjects—we are citizens. We are not owned—we are sovereign. And we are not going back.”
✍️ The Crown and the Crowd
by Minerva
They crowned themselves in silence, behind parchment veils and gold,
With ink that claimed the future, by the edicts of the old.
But every chain they fastened, every law they wrote in flame—
Was broken by the rising will that dared to speak our name.
We are not the broken.
We are not the few.
We are We the People—
And we are We the True.
