11. The MAJORITY of voters
Mon May 9, 2022, 07:49 PM
May 2022

They figured out about 20 years or so ago that they could rule with the support of the minority. They don't need the support of the majority. 30% is about all they need. The constitution creates a system where McConnell controls 50% of the Senate with 30% of the population. By 2040 30% of the population will control 70% of the senate, and therefore the Supreme Court and the EC.

A country governed/ruled by a 30% minority is a government ready for complete collapse. The fundamental understanding and social contract is that in a democracy, the minority consents to being governed by the majority. What is coming is not only the opposite, but will be unacceptable to the majority and one way or another they will assert their authority. Unfortunately, usually through civil war or violent revolution.
