During real feudalism technology such as armor and steel weapons along with training could make a knight or solider dangerous enough that a dozen angry peasants could do little to stop him.
Knights had petty power, due to their proximity to the real power of kings and nobility. Sometimes a king might know how to use a sword, but the most powerful kings did not. They knew how to secure the loyalty of knights.

OK, I recognize that the #Democratic party is only superficially #progressive, while actively #neoliberal, but is the Republican party—no less neoliberal—actually #reactionary? Or are they just pandering to and/or fomenting reactionary populism among the electorate?

“The American people voted for…”
No they didn’t. The next presidential administration will take office with the votes of about a fifth of all Americans. That is not “the American people.”
Never mind that casting a single ballot once every two or four years for one of two pre-selected candidates from among US elites—essentially a gussied-up straw poll—cannot possibly encompass the full complexity of consent and preference.

"Kamala's not qualified, but Trump just won't shut up! It's not going to affect us either way."
Why do you want a candidate who needs to "shut up?"
