I'm not downplaying anything or suggesting we'd be going back to the current status quo in four years, and if you actually read what I wrote in a slightly less cynical way you'd understand that.

I'm telling you now that things will decline under trump and you will vote for the new status quo that will have been wrought about in four years instead of pushing for a platform that even expresses a desire to make things better, and you will fight against anyone telling you we should work together to achieve that end.

I'm not going around calling anybody anything, and I'm especially not denigrating their intelligence. We're not allowed to question your candidates and you're so convinced of your own righteousness that anyone who disagrees is a dipshit or a fascist that deserves everything bad coming to them. But sure, you guys are definitely morally superior to MAGA and totally different from them in every way.

Also, voting for democrats is not "taking action against the Republicans", it's taking action for Democrats, because a) that's just the reality of how voting works, no matter how much you libs cry foul and doublethink yourselves into believing it's not, and b) the Democrats are not taking action against the Republicans. If they were, they would have done something in the last 4 years to prevent the Republicans gaining ground or at the very least run a campaign that wasn't objectively bad and ceded the framing on every issue to the Republicans, making themselves look incompetent.

This outcome works for them, the DNC, just as much as it does for Republicans. They don't give a shit about winning elections and they don't give a shit about you or trans people or minorities or any people who will actually suffer under Republican policy, no matter how strong of a hallucination you get from them being the only alternative to the Republicans you're allowed to consider in our quote-unquote "democracy".
