Not to quibble, but is it even possible for a person to be enraged ALL the time? Don’t they need a little downtime once in a while?

I realized the other day that it is not We the People who are in rebellion against the government. No. It is the government that is in rebellion against the people.

Excellent! Thanks.

The money quote:
Mr Obama’s intervention was decisive. The moment he demanded that Britain should remain within the EU, the polls began to swing against it. It was only when, in his maladroit fashion, he had sought to interfere in Britain’s decision that so many undecided voters woke up to the danger that the maneuverings and posturings of the international governing class represent to democracy.

All of this would never have happened in the first place if all of those people who’ve never voted in their life would’ve voted in the last two Elections.

That's truly the bottom line, all across what remains of the West.
IIRC, your post is a paraphrase from an East German/DDR official, 1953 or so.

“The Republicans, who are not always as lively in their understanding of the threat to democracy posed by supranational and global institutions such as the EU, the UN and its bloated climate bureaucracy, are too often snared or charmed by determined “Democrats” who fully understand and thirst to exercise the power to inflict perma-Socialism on their nation by bilateral, multilateral or global treaties.”
