    fuck this. This is literally what people said during Trump’s first election. Guess what? Making things worse doesn’t magically make things better.

        Man, check revolutions throughout history. They don’t happen because authoritarian governments get too authoritarian. They happen when authoritarian governments let up the pressure during times of tension.

        Authoritarian governments that collapse due to over-authoritarianism typically fall to coups, not revolutions.

            The real answer is to vote local, get involved, if there are no good options run or find a decent person who is capable of running. Either way, support the campaigns of those decent options, do a little volunteering. Change happens from the ground up. Changing the whole system at once is impossible, slowly spreading change from the local level shows other disenfranchised voters there is a chance, and it picks up momentum from there.

            Throwing away your vote is a sure fire way to make things worse. Vote for the candidate that has the highest odds of winning who will make things better, or at least not worse. Just because you don’t like the candidate on the “left” doesn’t mean they’re not the one that will objectively do the least harm in office. Letting Trump or anyone else on the right in office is objectively bad on so many measures.

            Voting third party is morally reprehensible. Even if it makes you feel better, it’s worst for all of us. Don’t be selfish.

        You probably want to read up on Social Fascists and why the concept you’re espousing is terrible.

        History says enabling fascists doesn’t end up with a glorious revolution, but rather a bullet in the head of the left.
