About what you see as tyranny -
what the founding fathers, and most people, and the way history plays tyranny, is that there's a dictator/king in charge.
Pretty much all people despise THIS tyranny. However, it's for no particular reason other than not having another above them.
What even the founding fathers did not understand was communism - tyranny of the masses against themselves. Back then it was hard to imagine a person who would take freedom from himself, now that person is the majority (liberals).
What has become apparent to me was that, deep down in human nature, what annoyed people about a tyrant/king/dictator was not that he stamped on people, had them killed, stole from them, etc.; but that they themselves were jealous of that power, the power that the average person could not have.
In democratic socialism, each person gets to have a piece of that. For example, while the average gun-grabbing liberal also prohibits himself from the option of firearm ownership, he gets to taste a small share of the ecstacy, well-being and "taste of power" a dictator felt disarming his subjects.
