So how does the cycle ever break then?

If only 2% vote, my bet is that a sizeable fraction of the remaining 98% are pretty pissed off about how things are going in this country. You want a revolution? It starts with dissent.

Well, before change can take place in the world, it has to take place in people's minds. But we just aren't there yet. And change certainly won't happen if we import people who reliably vote left (i.e. big government) faster than we can change people's minds here. That alone is a reason to go vote republican. Idealism does not change the world, unfortunately. There is a time and place to denounce the system though - pretty much any other day.
