    You want to change the system, I am literally 100% behind you. Until then, any registered voter that stays home is a vote for Trump. That is the greater evil…

        If you can convince a Trump supporter to stay home, sure. More likely, they’ll just vote when your back is turned and try to drop in you’re ballot for Trump.

          An individual vote only has meaningful significance in a few specific locations. If you aren’t doing anything to materially impact votes in those locations, emphasizing your individual vote as significant online is more about self-affirming and displaying your allegiance among others who agree with you.

      The greatest evil is America though, so if you’re telling me Trump is going to destroy America…… He’s looking pretty fuckin’ awesome.

          aha, but what if I have a master plan to save them, which involves removing the structural barriers to them escaping the attic via an attack that uses fire? we’re making the mother of all omelettes, jack, you can’t fret over every egg, or whatever.

          this is just raw accelerationism though, and I’ve been told that’s not a kosher ideology, so we can’t legitimately engage with it. kind of a shame, but also pretty easily co-opted into just being like, neo-fascism, so, understandable. we need to start lighting the types of furniture I don’t like on fire! we need to let the attic burn, with the people inside, because it will provide warmth! and so on. we won’t disassemble the house with the master’s tools, or what have you, and a house divided against itself cannot stand, but it’s also impossible to move houses in this economy, so I dunno. do we need to start knocking out walls for an open floorplan, or what? is the metaphor falling apart, and beginning to collapse, like the house?

            Cis white heterosexual revolutionaries will have a shining new day once the ashes clear, I’m sure they will build a monument to all the oppressed people they sacrificed to the fire.

              Well of course, all the normies would need something to direct their two minutes’ hate at, or whatever.

        Trump isn’t going to destroy America, just the parts of it he doesn’t like. The parts that are democratic and tolerant will be his primary targets.

        Trump destroying America doesn’t mean he’d make it better. He would make it worse. Even if you think it’s the “greatest” evil, that doesn’t mean it is at maximum evil.

        I miss old Lemmy, when this would have been the upvotes comment instead. Redditors need to look in the mirror before posting here.

        I can think of about 200 other countries that are worse than America. Hell, in Germany, they have far right nationalists becoming popular again.
