No One Voted

[Jacquerie]

Everyone has wondered if his vote would be the one that put a candidate president, senator, . . . county commissioner over the top. We vote more out of habit and tradition, rather than a conviction that “our guy” will work toward restoration of the American republic.

Can the November election reverse Obama’s law making, treaty making, his control over spending, and oppression of conservative groups? Who can name the powers Obama does not have?

Of course, my title implies something that could never happen. Not a chance. But what if wide swaths of the American people become so disgusted with the existing smokescreen of republican, constitutional government they just don’t bother to participate? What if the vast majority of Americans determine the progressive/islamic agenda is so well under way, so hardened into our governing and social institutions, that conservatives cannot reverse its course, and progressives see no need to accelerate the existing trend toward despotism?

Imagine only a few thousand per congressional district, or maybe a hundred thousand per state bother to vote for congressman or senator this coming November. Would the resulting congress be legitimate if it rested on so thin a foundation?

Governments in the past have experienced similar disgust and breakdown. In 1640, king Charles I of Great Britain discovered that very few powerful men supported him. The result was civil war.

Government under the hapless Articles of Confederation dissolved from lack of interest by the states. The result was the constitution.

This isn’t to say despotic authority wouldn’t still exist over us. DHS and other agencies haven’t accumulated billions of rounds of ammo for nothing. If the eligible voter participation rate fell to a couple percent, one thing is certain. It would mean shattering of the republican façade, the last outer shell of a constitution rendered out of practical existence.

To paraphrase Obama, we live in transformational times. To democrats the purpose of congress is to rubber stamp the will of Obama. Democrats are worried about lack of participation at the polls, to which the rats famously bus and reward their voting legions. Los Angeles is considering a taxpayer funded bounty for voting. Compulsory voting isn’t unusual in other countries. Dozens have some form of it.

As we dive head first into hard tyranny, don’t think the rats wouldn’t relish a law that demands we condone their criminality. I don’t think it is far off. If so, it would be the last gasp of the American republic.

It is always foolish to just stay home in protest. Power will be welded by those best organized to show up on the field, and they have already well demonstrated that they don’t care about the consent of the governed not one bit unlike our forefathers.

Those in power already demonstrated they don’t care about the Concent of the governed and therefore won’t care if nobody votes.

[Jacquerie]

I wasn’t out to make a point with this post.

Governments in the past have experienced lack of participation by those on whom the government depends.

Of the two I mentioned, one fell into civil war, the other preserved their freedoms without war. No doubt there are other examples. The Roman Empire slowly dissolved until it was so corrupt that too few gave a rip to save it.

So, I merely asked what could be expected if the vast majority of Americans figure out that voting merely condones criminal assault on their liberty.
