Another person on the Internet who needs to go back to Civics class (or is a Russian operative sowing dissent):
Who here on twitter feels like they are not being represented in Congress and are still paying their taxes?#TaxationWithoutRepresentation
I never ask for retweets but I am this one time. Retweet if you are not represented!#TheResistance

Just because you don’t “feel like” you’re represented, doesn’t mean you’re not represented. “Representation” in this context has a very specific meaning that has nothing to do with your “feelings.”
Also, you’re suggesting it’s okay to stop paying taxes if one’s preferred candidate doesn’t win?
Yeah, again, that’s not how governments work. What you’re advocating is a system of government where you follow whoever you “feel” should lead, where elections have no consequences, which is basically anarchy, and a return to the tribal warfare of our prehistoric ancestors.
The correct course of action to take when your preferred candidate doesn’t win is to wait patiently until the next election. And if you feel really strongly about it, during the intervening time, you can try to persuade people to vote differently next time. Preferably without annoying anyone or breaking voter laws.
