The notion of "consent of the governed" is a preposterous sham.
Coercion is guaranteed, whether it's the Democrats or the Republicans - which are just two mildly differing versions of the same statist duopoly that has run the country for at least 145 years now.
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner... .
