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

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.
