No we don't, I've never done this and I'm not going to start now. He's already tried and failed to seize power as a sitting president. He's proven he's too incompetent to become a fascist dictator.
I won't go as far to say as it's literally impossible, but the fact that so many liberals now believe in Trump's ability to overthrow the government just as much as his own supporters is baffling. He's not a reliable source of information. He's not intelligent, and he's not capable. He's an old, pathetic moron that is on the verge of dying due to age, not some capable fascist mastermind.
He doesn't need to be. He has the help of the entire Republican party, meaning they'll be about 60% successful. Issue is, 60% means a lot of death, as someone being stupid doesn't make them harmless. It's like claiming we shouldn't worry about climate change because humanity will survive. That isn't the point ffs.
Also, you fail to address the fact that PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING RIGHT NOW IN REPUBLICAN AREAS. Wake the fuck up! Democrats are shit, yet that doesn't mean Republicans aren't pure evil.
On top of that, what do you honestly think would replace a fascist state after it falls apart? Some utopia, or a liberal democracy trying to restore the same fucking system we have now? If the system doesn't fail on its own merits, fewer people will recognize that it needs to be replaced.
Your strategy is pure emotion without any foresight, and if a single local Republican gets elected because you didn't vote, you'll have allowed needless suffering like the Democrats that run shitty right wing strategies and ignore their base. You both could have been better, but all I hear are pathetic excuses.
