The trick is to go from extreme to extreme and always have "democrat" on the dart board, because there clearly isn't anyone better to have on it. You should get together with MAGA, you have a lot more in common than you might think.
I do have MAGA friends, and surprisingly, they are substantially more disillusioned than my liberal friends. They no longer support Trump and the Republican party, I just wish my liberal friends caught up and didn't support the Democrats unquestionably!
Stockholm syndrome goes both ways. 1/3 of the country is not voting for these parties, and the number is only going to get bigger if they keep representing capital and utterly failing at even that.
Well, it was the democracy you have, and you could either choose to vote a fascist or a less despotic environment to bring the choice you wanted. Well, had. It's no longer your choice, so don't worry, put whomever you want on that dart board. Not even American and the people I interact with through social networks no longer matter even if they are Americans, so that really should be a load off my mind. Really should be focusing on the ways democracy is under threat in mine.
As if there ever was a "democracy". You can certainly choose to feel doomed and helpless. It's your choice.
TheObviousSolution is a pretty powerful username, I still hold hope in my heart that you can embody that energy.
