the honest question to ask yourself is this:
do you think you could do a better job than him and his team?
how about the establishment politicians?
if yes, then go for it. you deserve a chance.
if no, then you are ignoring politics to bask in moral virtue. [wait that's

it's exhausting, but what are we supposed to do? Lie down and rot? That's
incel thinking. I'm not going to do that.
They've already placed the last straw. It's only a matter of time now, the
tide has shifted. You can't prepare for everything, and it's not a good idea
to waste yourself in self-conflageration, but they are increasingly forcing us
to orient our lives around them.
They deserve what's coming.
The oppressed are not the defeated.

yes that is true! And though they'd never realize nor admit it, the
republicans are oppressed too.
Some day we will liberate them, and they will realize what utter
douche-nozzles they've been. Their harm will be done, of course, but since
there are more of us than them, we can live through their hatred and come out
the other side toughened with resolve.
they have nothing but anger. They will collapse under their own weight. The
oppressors cannot oppress for much longer, all we have to do is wait.
(and, like, y'know, prepare our resources and such)
