Too late. The legitimacy of voting is dead. The only way we return to our version of democracy is to burn it all to the ground. These fascists aren’t going away by rules and laws that already aren’t following.
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.
Look, I’ve been watching the decline of this country for far longer than the Trump years. I know where we are and where we’re headed. I know that in the past when this very same cycle of tyranny rises up the solution is destruction and rebuilding. You can’t reason with cancer.
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.
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.
The voice of reason in unreasonable times 😆

We are not burning Canada down, they will burn themselves with fascism within a decade.
Look up what happened during the war of 1812
!shermanposting@lemmy.world is leaking.
I don’t know what that means.
That community is all about burning fascist stuff to the ground.
“[Community] is leaking” is a meme people say when something evocative of a community is posted outside it.
Oh OK, understood. Thank you for explaining
