The dream is over

I just want to give you a two simple sentences from a very sad article:

And it struck me as a sad irony that Jefferson's America overthrew the tyranny of King George III, overthrew his oppressive society ruled by men and not by laws. But then, just 230 years later, another tyranny imperceptibly returns as another George dismisses Jefferson's grand Constitutional dream with a simple smirk - and in doing so declares himself King.

This is from The Dream is Over: The Jaws of Darkness Do Devour It Up by Steven Laffoley.
