I would say its a feature not a bug, but our ruling elites are to coddled and ideologically possessed to understand that.

Yeah - if you consider the kind of people you hire as security or muscle and the fact that they probably have trouble affording their rent let alone a home of their own. If it really does kick off at best they'll be off protecting their own neighbourhoods out in the working class satellite towns surrounding D.C if not just join the fray. I am amazed the elites have been able to keep them loyal until now.
