>We are getting what we consent to.
Only if you subscribe to the Jewish concept that silence=consent.
There's a long-established understanding that most people just want to be left alone to pursue happiness with absolute minimal governmental interference.
There's also a long-established system of rigging of elections.
Add those two together, and you get the silent majority who realize that elections are rigged, their votes don't count, and they choose to keep their heads low so they don't get their heads chopped off [reference to Far Side cartoon].
Keeping one's head low for survival purposes is NOT "consent" regardless of what the Christ-murderers claim.
