Once we get there, sure, whatever, if that's what it takes. But unless or, god forbid, until we reach that point, then there is no way you or anyone is going to convince me that abandoning our core values is the right way forward.
Ultimately, this might be the last 6 months anything can be done about this.
If Trump wins, it could very well be the last election, or they will be rigged so bad they make Putin shameful that he can't be that blatantly obvious.
So 'once we get there' might mean the only solution is even worse than using the current legitimate options and newly provided power to the presidency.
Edit: The dude already tried to stage a coup, murder the VP, and incited an insurrection. Things will not go well if he wins, and he's going to get off on it all as immune.
Then you should vote, vote smart, and get as many people to join you as possible. That's my plan.
That's cute. It's a short, punchy statement to absolve yourself of responsibility to help.
It's also fantasy.
There will be a lot of real harm done to real people in the transition to fascism. Not doing everything you can to stop it is allowing that harm to happen.
Armed Robbers Fleeing Bank
Cops Pull Out Guns: FREEZE! PUT YOUR HANDS UP IN THE AIR!
Armed Robbers: Pulls out guns aims at cops!
Cops: Maybe he won't shoot, lets wait and find out!
Armed Robbers: Kills all the cops, runs away.
News at 6pm - July 12th: The armed robbers who shot and killed everyone in the bank on July 10th have done it again, this time killing all the cops outside as they fled. Who would have ever guessed they'd shoot at the cops after having killed everyone in the bank 2 days prior!
