Since
1980, status quo has been dominating the political climate of the United
States, in an upward trend, with a sharp upswing at each presidential election
of both parties. There are various ways for the State (establishment) to ensure the selected
few stay in power. In addition to control of the media, keeping votes in the hands
of the supporters of such nominees has been the policy of the government from
the beginning. We know that the constitution excluded majority of people from
voting, keeping the ballots excluded to male Anglo-Saxon landowners. People’s
struggles against this discriminatory law for more than hundred years, from 1868 to 1972 forced legislators to pass amendments 14, 15, 19, 23,
26, and to call the Poll Tax unconstitutional. However, the establishment found other ways to keep economically
disadvantaged people excluded from the voting process. It may help to consider voter
turnout in US presidential elections since 1828:
