I think they should vote. Voting is our most fundamental, intrinsic right.
Which ones aren't being enforced?
How do I know it won't be needed? Well, I don't, but I'm also not paranoid about government. We got rid of England because they were giving us a pretty raw deal -- taxation without representation and no voice in government. It's different now -- we do have a voice in government.
To me, the right's fear of a tyrannical federal government stems from their disagreeing with Democratic leaders on domestic policy. The right opposes universal healthcare, tuition free higher education, and gun control, arguing that it creates big government. Yet, those ideas are supported by the majority of voters. We govern by democracy here -- majority rules. Over half the country wants gun control. You are in a minority group that is getting smaller every day.
So, how do you reconcile your apparent fear of tyrannical, big government when, in actuality, public policy is decided by majority vote? That doesn't sound all that tyrannical to me.
Moreover, in the off chance that the government becomes tyrannical and authoritarian, how do they enslave us? With the military and the troops? Would you propose that our troops would be complicit in a government takeover?
