>murdered their own family members out of lust for power
This was definitely a problem but wasn't as common as your post makes it out to be.

>many of their lords depend on for support. Kings had monied interests of their own
Monarchs who inherit titles were put into the unfortunate position of having to balance these different competing interests, and yes, also had interests of their own, but they didn't actively seek out this lifestyle from the outside like politicians do. Politicians could have gone down any other career path and chose the most deceitful power-hungry path. Compare that to someone like Wilhelm II, who had an apprentice factory job when he was young.

>I can guarantee the powers that be didnt want AOC
You are making the mistake of portraying the powers that be as one cohesive faction, when the truth is power is held by multiple factions with overlapping and separate interests. And power struggles are usually caused by different elite factions vying for power, for example the French and Russian Revolutions, and the narrative about those revolutions being caused by the common man is bullshit. I'm sure establishment liberals don't like AOC, but the more progressive marxist-oriented faction does. Just like how the techno-elite faction defeated the neocon faction in the Republican party.

>Theodore Roosevelt
He is one of the few examples of a decent man in politics, but he was born into wealth. The average working class man can't do what he did.
