In every nation that affords its citizens the right to vote, people go to the polls in the hope and expectation that the outcome of the election will reflect the views of the citizens of that nation — and no one else.

Aristotle built his political theory on basic principles, one of which was the concept of citizenship. A citizen is a person who has the right to participate in the processes by which his nation is governed. Aristotle distinguished citizens from mere inhabitants of the nation who did not have such rights, such as resident aliens.

One of the most important tools tyrants use to keep their subjects under control is maintaining a continual state of war. As George Orwell famously wrote in his novel 1984, “Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”

When Americans recognize that massive immigration from third world countries is changing American politics, leftists are incensed. Americans were not supposed to notice. And if we ever complain that the political power and economic resources of Americans is being eroded by illegal newcomers, we are accused of believing in “Replacement theory,” or “The Great Replacement.”

The U.S. Constitution is a continuing source of annoyance to tyrants.  It grants the federal government only a few, limited powers.  It recognizes and protects God-given rights, like the right to keep and bear arms.  If those in public office were faithful to the Constitution, the federal government would not pose a threat to the American People.  So, how do Tyrants get around the U.S. Constitution?
