"noble spirits".

What we think of as traditional Republicans as well as the Turd Way Democrats aspire to is more like Fascism where the state and capital are merged into one entity, each reenforcing the other and kettling the population.

Both are atrocities but feudalisim has a tried and true fix, even when given full sway. The Fascist were more dangerous and were relatively nipped in the bud, at an incredible cost.
