You can't vote your way out, or peacefully protest your way out either. We are fucking cooked.
You could ABSOLUTELY have voted your way out. Others have.
You just didn't.
And now you have to dig your way out through other means. The article does contain some interesting examples of how the fascist right seized power in accessible, local platforms. Granted, those will be much harder under the fascist regime you all enabled, but at least it's more practical than "we are cooked".

I firmly believe that no one voted for the "they're eating the dogs" guy, except for the die hards, and this was forced upon us by our adversaries and Elon Musk.
This is very likely not true.
But even if it was, it is remarkable to see how the reaction of the fascists to a similar narrative was to immediately gather to go storm the Capitol, got arrested, put in jail and still their political arm defended them, doubled down on their actions and rallied around them until they won again, then pardoned them all. Meanwhile the US left went "ah, nevertheless" yet again and went home to angrily post about how unfair it all is and how it's definitely, DEFINITELY the Dem's fault and they bear no responsibility or capacity to change anything.
You can organize your way out. We are only cooked if we give up.
