I thought exactly like that for 50 years. Now I'm still a disbeliever in state, but also a single issue voter: I will always vote against the people of mandates. 

I don't think it is a big deal, I still care about my own stuff and try to live without the state, do things for my community and educate others, but now I vote. It is at worst irrelevant. 

 If you vote, save that energy for local politics where change might be possible. DC cant and wont ever change.
