    I wonder what they can do about that?

    Just tossing ideas out here… maybe stop voting for Republicans.

    Hot take, I know…

        We don’t have to burn it all to the ground, we just have to burn specific things.

        Whoa, let’s not make that assumption now until we’re proven otherwise. We have no choice but to promote, register, and assume the next elections will be mostly legitimate.

        It’s far too risky to spread apathy right now. Game Theory dictates you promote voting, regardless.

            I too have been watching for decades while also having the unfortunate displeasure of being on both sides of the ideological spectrum.

            I too have the same concerns; but that doesn’t change the Game Theory.

            Righties, accelerationists (who are so willing to sacrifice others for their cause or romanticizing the apocalypse) absolutely love to promote apathy and defeatism in stating that voting doesn’t matter.

            If it doesn’t, then what you say will come true anyway; but until proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, you still push people to vote. I heard similar talk during his first term. Trump left the White House once. We can make him do it again.
