Consent of the governed? Then rule of law is dead!
(lemmy.world)
I know most of y'all have heard of consent manufacturing, but I want to radicalize some American liberals. I got some fun slogans to use:
- Democracy is Dead; Law is Dead
- Law of Nature
- The Left was the Answer the Rich Killed
- No Law; No Order. No Justice; No Peace
- The Rich Killed America
- With Power ๐ฐ Comes Responsibility
- Burn With Us
- Too Woke? Not Awake Enough
- Welcome to Hell: Sponsored by _________
- Never Forget What They Took From Us
- Only the Economy was Zero-Sum
- Blame the Rich
- Join Us in Pain
- They Made This Change Inevitable
- Democrats Failed
- Starve Peace and What Do You Feed?
- Never Forgive
- Fascism Kills Global Capitalism Too
- You Gave Trump More Than You Thought
- Self Care, Other Harm
- Make Reason to Live
If people don't vote, democracy breaks.
In 2024, if Nobody was a candidate, they would have won handily.
Non-voters vastly outnumbered voters for both candidates.
People didn't vote and democracy broke. Game over. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Flip the board and Hazbro with it.
It's over! Liberal Democracy died because people thought it was bad and not worth saving. We're in the endgame, and there's no time travel bullshit to save us.
Liberal democracy died because liberals undermined their own support structure for forty years.
Exactly
More like if democracy breaks, people don't vote. Apathy doesn't come out of thin air.
Isn't that basically always true (in the USA), though?
It is always true in any democratic republic: The cost of a functioning democracy is vigilance on the part of all citizens, as is staying informed. It can be exhausting, but if those efforts fail the results can be disastrous.
Time for results! แ(แ)แ
That doesn't even take into account people not allowed to vote
