Liberty is to faction what ruinedness is to Thanksgiving

Not  a month goes by without one: 

Lots     and     lots     of     references     to     The     Federalist     Papers     this     year.

Whatever could the reason be, TiR wonders?

Regardless of why, a return to some of the lesser-quoted passages in the original texts reveals some chilling discoveries, hiding in plain sight, ones directly relevant to TiR’s annual ruthless interrogation of its namesake proposition.

Could it be possible that The Founders™ , when not pondering the death of republics, left for later generations clues to an even more fundamental, terrifying and inescapable truth?

All passages below quoted absolutely verbatim, TiR assuuuuurres you: 

No. 21 (Hamilton):

 Usurpation may rear its crest in each State, and trample upon the liberties of the people, while the national government could legally do nothing more than behold its encroachments with indignation and regret. A successful faction may erect a tyranny on the ruins of THANKSGIVING, order and law, while no succor could constitutionally be afforded by the Union to the friends and supporters of the government.

No. 22 (Hamilton):

Hence it is that history furnishes us with so many mortifying examples of the prevalency of foreign corruption in republican governments. How much this contributed to the ruin of the ancient commonwealths AND THEIR THANKSGIVINGS (WHICH WERE ALREADY LIKEWISE QUITE RUINED) has been already delineated.

 No. 57 (Madison):

Let me now ask what circumstance there is in the constitution of the House of Representatives that violates the principles of republican government, or favors the elevation of the few on the ruins of THE THANKSGIVINGS OF the many?

 No. 60 (Hamilton):

Would they not rather boldly resolve to perpetuate themselves in office by one decisive act of usurpation, than to trust to precarious expedients which, in spite of all the precautions that might accompany them, might terminate in the dismission, disgrace, and ruin of their authors, UNTIL THEY ARE, IN THAT LATTER EVENTUALITY, INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THEIR THANKSGIVINGS?

  No. 72 (Hamilton):

 To reverse and undo what has been done by a predecessor, is very often considered by a successor as the best proof he can give of his own capacity and desert; and in addition to this propensity, where the alteration has been the result of public choice, the person substituted is warranted in supposing that the dismission of his predecessor has proceeded from a dislike to his measures; and that the less he resembles him, the more he will recommend himself to the favor of his constituents. These considerations, and the influence of personal confidences and attachments, would be likely to induce every new President to promote a change of men to fill the subordinate stations; and these causes together could not fail to occasion a disgraceful and ruinous (AND, INSOFAR AS THAT WERE THE CASE, INCREASINGLY THANKSGIVING-LIKE) mutability in the administration of the government.

No. 18 (Madison):

Had the Greeks, says the Abbe Milot, been as wise as they were courageous, they would have been admonished by experience of the necessity of a closer union, and would have availed themselves of the peace which followed their success against the Persian arms, to establish such a reformation. Instead of this obvious policy, Athens and Sparta, inflated with the victories and the glory they had acquired, became first rivals and then enemies; and did each other infinitely more mischief than they had suffered from Xerxes. Their mutual jealousies, fears, hatreds, and injuries ended in the celebrated Peloponnesian war; which itself ended in the ruin OF THANKSGIVING – NO, WAIT, THAT WAS ALREADY RUINED -- and slavery of the Athenians who had begun it. . . . 

 By these arts this union, the last hope of Greece, the last hope of ancient liberty, was torn into pieces; and such imbecility and distraction introduced, that the arms of Rome found little difficulty in completing the ruin which their arts had commenced, UNTIL GREECE IN THIS WAY RESEMBLED THANKSGIVING OR, AS IT WAS KNOWN AMONG THE ROMANS, “GRATIARUM ACTIONES.”

 The implications of the above are sufficiently obvious that no further comment is necessary.
