“This state of affairs, incidentally, has nothing to do with the fact that the people are divided, but rather, is to be explained by loss of confidence in the so-called system. In order to maintain the system, the empowered ones begin to act as rulers and resort to force. They substitute force for the assent of the people. That is the turning point.”
Hannah Arendt
Those who are being ruled resort to violence when the rulers do the same. The power of the bullet will always be stronger than the ballot box ( especially when Diebold is in charge of the ballot box ) .
