usa is not a democracy, so you don't have rights. you have privileges, which are similar, but may disappear at the convenience of the ruling group.

If you talk to Libertarians, the golden era of rights was in the pre civil war era. Which happened to be a period of institutionalized slavery. This apparent contradiction is why the politics of Liberal rights are met with skepticism. (In the pre civil war era, rights were only guaranteed by the Federal government. Other levels of government did not respect rights, nor were they required to.) We have rights, you've just been misinformed by Liberals and Libertarians about how they've been using them. (Not just the bill of rights, we have civil rights, and some semblance of labor rights remain. Rights Libertarians are especially prone to overlooking.) Also, your notion of any kind of *permanent* privileges is an attempted to overthrow all future democracies. That leaves replacing the ruling group as the solution. Because that's the actual solution. It happens periodically.
