In that scenario, if it was as simple as saying no, of course Id stop them. I cant equate that scenario to voting because it isnt as simple as saying no. To continue with your scenario though, I have the power of a single no stopping someone from destroying loved ones
Voting IS saying NO to something. In 2020, I said NO to Trump being president again.

there are countless of others willing to say no to stop destruction from happening.
Countless others. Until there isn't.
There were countless socialists, until they weren't. Countless trade unionists, until they weren't. Countless Jews, until they weren't.
When those people were being dragged away to the camps, how many people decided it wasn't worth the time or effort to stop it? That someone else would surely prevent things from getting out of control?
And uh, if you picked up on what I'm referring to and think "Hey, that's an extreme comparasion"!
Yes.
Because we're dealing with a man who openly wants to be a dictator, reminds Holocaust survivors of Hitler, and seems to be a friend to the neo nazis.
Seems like going to a voting booth and saying NO to all of that is a lot easier than the alternatives.
