We can expect the anti-choice crowd to ramp this rhetoric up in the coming months and years. Lots of them already like to crow about how we're a "republic not a democracy" (while having no understanding of what those terms actually involve, or the history behind them).

Once they realize how outnumbered they are they will absolutely abandon consent of the governed as a principle of legitimate government.
