Too often people are elected to an office after an election with only thirty percent of the electorate voting. Those people go into office with him or her to do what that small number of constituents want done. If a person voted against the official then they have the right to complain but if they didn’t bother to vote, they don’t have the moral right.
Of fifty, sixty, or even seventy percent of voters staying home a small number of people are able to take control of a government and its people. Adolph Hitler came into power with the support of a few thousand actual believers who controlled a few million supporters who thought his propaganda goals was needed. Of course his Brown Shirts beat up or killed those who complained or were the objects of his scorn. In Germany’s 1930s and 1940s the organization was called Nazi for “NAtional SoZialistiche Deutsch ArBeiterparteI.” Is the Maga-Movement the same just because it has all the same markers? It has the personality, lack of political experience, devotees, lies, political violence, minorities to suppress, and desire to destroy the justice and government.
If Americans value Democracy then they must vote in every election or lose what we value most!
