Let's see. About 30% of the population has been reliably Liberal since the woke era started. That was what, nearly ten years ago?
The numbers vary, although the spirit remains. 70% of the population, generally speaking, would not be in agreement with the ruling policies. Invariably over such a long period the 30% would inevitably begin to alienate the rest of the coalition. But for some unnatural reason, the political ecology of the country somehow changed to keep this fractional minority in power. Far longer than would be expected, since most governments at most last 1-2 cycles.
How does a minority 30%, which is not consented to by at least half or more of the population, maintain this hold on power so long despite this? Well, we've already seen the answer:
>criminalize opposition speech and blackball it
>try to criminalize political activities of all kinds outside the existing quo, which is favorable
>institute AI and similar surveillance panopticons to try and suppress the remaining majority from speaking
>blame the resulting breakdown in social trust on "misinformation", "disinformation" etc
>sponsor militant vanguards to use unofficial state violence such as antifa
>and of course, try to actively replace the nonsupportive population with a more pliant one. Diversity is our strength
Of course in the very long run, no minority of 30% can maintain legitimacy and rule for someone else. That would be utterly impossible. We already see the end run of this strategy in places like Britain, where zero state legitimacy exists outside the ruling circle and counter-terrorism strategies are being used on angry protestors. By that point it's a death spiral anyways, since the new majority will want a say completely different than what the old ones wanted.
