[Star Trek] How does the Borg hivemind work when the vast majority of drones don't want to be there?

Wouldn't they eventually just "outvote" the assimilators so the Borg stops trying to assimilate everyone, and starts trying to find a way to end the hivemind?

I always assumed that when you are first assimilated, the hivemind overpowers you, and it's like brainwashing.  Imagine being part of a hive for the first time, and there are billions of voices shouting over yours that being Borg is good, that assimilation is good, and that resistance is futile.  They never stop shouting, and you can never hide from it.  How long would you be able to keep saying that they are wrong?  Against that kind of pressure, your old life eventually feels like a dream, and before you know it, you are part of the group shouting down the next to be assimilated.

There must have been a critical mass of Borg long ago who believed in it and who could keep control after the first batch of assimilated drones joined.  After that, they could never be outvoted.
