Ill always vote, but Im not sure thatll do more than buy us four more years. Project 2025 wont go away if Trump loses, it just becomes Project 2029. Eventually the pendulum will swing and well get a Republican President and Congress again. And the mask is off at this point, I dont think GOP voters will accept any attempt to go back to a semi-functional republic.

Voting is great and all, its the best option available at this moment. But lets not pretend that voting harder is going to solve all our woes either, or that a not-insignificant population of this country has already decided political violence to overthrow a legitimately elected president is a better alternative than democracy. Once the GOP made the choice to side with the Jan 6th terrorists, they made it clear they will support more violence to get their way.

You all ready for that possibility? That no matter how you vote this year, or next year, or four years from now, that all of that could be tossed away because the right-wing finally decides to do away with the pretense democracy?

Because in the same way we should all vote so that were not complicit in Trump winning the presidency this election, we should also decide whether were going to be complicit in Trump or another right-wing scumbag seizing power by not fighting back beyond the ballot box.
