The US is a dichotomy of Oligarchs disguised as a Republic

You just described Rome under rule of the senate and why the average human lived better under dictatorship of the Caesars.  A senate is just a decentralized tyranny.  If your lot in life sucks, going and whacking a senator solves nothing because there's too many and it's just playing a futile game of whack-a-mole.  If there's only one figurehead of state (monarchy or whatever), there's far more accountability because whacking the monarch actually does institute change.  

A constitutional monarchy is probably about as good as it gets for representation.  Both forms of govt are going to become tyrannical over time, it's all really just about their failure recovery modes and succession.  It's debatable as to which one is better in that regard.  Since it's so difficult to get rid of an entrenched, distributed, crooked political system like a senate, you might need an enormous civil war where half the country dies to make it happen.  Whereas replacing a Caligula might just take one of his servants.
