This goes to the question of where does political legitimacy come from.

We have had a potent founding myth based on our understanding of Rome, which has united the people (Whites) who admire Rome at its height.

We had a unified culture, where everyone understood the boundaries of acceptable behavior. Governance was never easy, but it was possible.

Now we don’t have those things. Our founding myths are no longer sufficient to bind us together.

The very regime (the Constitution) which describes and circumscribes our government is insufficient for purpose.

And so the trappings of myth and constraints of that regime will by necessity be brushed aside.

The true nature of any government is the ability to maintain a monopoly on the lawful exercise of deadly force.

Legitimacy comes from the barrel of a gun.

Voting has lost most of its persuasive and cohesive power. In 30 years, people won’t even want to vote anymore because it will seem like a quaint relic of a distant past.
