An election is not consent. It's simply mob rule. It's a war without bullets.
Wow. I don't think I've ever heard it put exactly that way before. Clever.
But when you participate in the process by which you elect the people who govern you, you are a willing participant in the functions and machinations of this government. That demonstrates, by you casting your vote for Tom, Dick, or Harry, your consent to be governed by them.
