But that’s precisely why we may see increasingly totalitarian measures, as the gap between the will of the people and the interests of the small minority in charge continues to widen. History’s bloody revolutions show us what happens when this gap becomes too large, and the government entirely ceases to effectively represent the governed. Conservatives will continue to push unpopular policies on an unwilling United States. But it’s unclear how long people will accept having decisions made for them by a few dozen rich white men.


Hey Nathan. That's why we have elections in the United States. Don't like it vote someone else in. Start talking about "bloody revolutions" and then remember that we have the 2nd Amendment in the United States and we have the guns.

Conveniently forgets that the white FEMALE governor signed the legislation into law.

Which complete emasculates rich white male Nathan’s argument here.

Wow.....People against killing babies in the womb. Can't find one thing wrong with that. Good for them.

Killing babies in the womb is murder....nothing less.

Haven’t rich white men been prominent in Britain?

25 white men were able to tell us not to kill predominantly color children.

How long are we to tolerate brain dead imbecilic morons??

the people who will be most affected are nowhere in the debate

Gee, I had always thought that the babies who were murdered were very much affected.

“Headlines we will never see if the races were reversed...”

Just need to look at South Africa if the races were reversed.

We’re turning into South Africa. Whatever whitey has, whitey has taken away.

White men being “in charge” has not been perfect. The alternatives have all shown themselves to be no better, and frequently worse.

Show me anyplace in the world where poor people run things.

Even under Socialism and Communism the leadership lives the high life and is often worth billions.

Some pushback in the comments section along with the usual idiots (generally Brits) complaining how the Constitution of the United States is badly written, flawed and racist. I’d say that about the Magna Carta except that I have a brain...

Elected representatives pass a bill into law, that's tyranny.

Nine unelected judges with lifetime appointments overturn the laws of 50 states in one fell swoop, that's freedom.

Got it. /s

I saw a long time ago that their goal was eliminating us, after taking all our money.

This is openly racist enough to justify a campaign to see this author drummed out of the profession. I’m tired of this perpetual leftist racist hate campaign and it’s time to punch back hard. Every slander should have consequences.

Racism such as this is what gave the African continent the murder of white farmers and the starvation of blacks.

The problem with that statement is the author believes they are the Majority.
Elections have consequences.

Check it out. In predominate white nations, white rich males control government. In black nations, black rich males control government. in Asian nations, Asian rich males control government. In Hispanic nations, Hispanic rich males control government. In capitalist countries, capitalist rich males control government. And (let trumpets blare) in communist countries, communist rich males control government.

Interesting isn’t it??
