I am not sure what you mean. I don't necessarily believe the rights of the individual, as specified in the bill of rights /constittuion will lead back to a meritocracy ---because if people merit their positions, they are good at it, and consistently adher to constitutional law, I think it would be great. BUT, I do think if we do NOT learn from our current issues, it will become some sort of oligarchy...either run by corporations (like now), or by oligarchs (like now, with Soros backing Obama with money, and following the cloven pivard playbook/rules for radicals), all backed by the CCP who laid out their asymetric warfare plan in a book in the late 90;s..oh I can think of so many things that have gone wrong...the failure of our anti trust unit, the policitization of the DOJ, the weaponization of the FBI, etc. and of course our politicians who are beholden to thei donors...our law crafted tax code which is a temptation to any politician running for office again.....but I beleive if we look carefully at all our institutions, we can figure out where we went wrong (by building them in the first place, by not having terms limits on all BUREAUCRATS and POLITICIANs) by not making Congress live under the laws they pass for the rest of us, etc etc . etc...The FCC, the FTC, the NIH, CDC Etc etc. and yes, even the Military all need to be re-constructed from teh ground up, and many eliminated and transferred to local power.

And I don't think minorities are battling meritocracies...I think they are battling bad policies that need to go bye bye.

And with all that said. I believe the US is the only country that was founded by geniuses, and I believe in the strict interpretation of the constitution. I do not LIKE it when words are not interpreted in the context of the time they were said..for example, the General Welfare clause which was never meant to lead to actual Welfare and food stamps.

Now we have changed the definition of vaccine, herd Immunity and something else I can't remember but I will stop now. Contant vigilance, and Yes, my generation is guilty of living in happyland for years, and not keeping an eye on what has happened.

I will shut up now. Hope I've explained a bit ...
