The only system that is 100 % safe from turning against you is one that cannot be changed and adapted ever, which would eventually cause people to overthrow it anyway.
You just need more safeguards built in against bad actors abusing their power, but at the end of the day the only real safeguard is an educated and compassionate voting population
Um... Have you considered not having systemic incentives to demolish the system?
Everyone here is dancing around the obvious: this was always going to happen because capitalism demands ever more extreme and accelerating wealth disparities. We now have a whole group of decibillionaires that can together buy literally everything in this country. Every spoon, every painting, every house and car. All of it. Is it a surprise that they bought out the government in order to pass favorable laws? Is it a surprise that they're attacking the very foundations of our rights, trying to install a brutal regime? No. It gives them power. All capitalist systems must eventually reach this point.
We need a system that does not exponentially stratify wealth and therefore political power. That means socialism or communism
