Nobody alive today has ever consented to government. There is no negotiation. "Consent of the governed" is sophistry.

The people have the right to vote in whatever government they want. If that right is abridged or taken away, they can kill the people doing that until the right is restored.

That is the consent of the governed.

No, that's still just consent of those who consent.

From time to time people withdraw that consent, like in the Ukraine at the moment.

And yet, they're still governed, and you can bet they will still be governed after this struggle is over.
