Why do they tell us Trump is an existential threat, then turn right around and say the only thing to do is participate in the ballots as if nothing unusual was happening?

They don't really believe Trump is an existential threat, they're just infinitely annoyed by his cultural presentation and lack of class

They're infuriated by the second hand embrassment they feel when they see him on the global stage and by how annoying he's made members of their own family

Alot of this is just inter-family suburban squabbles being directed outward

"Before Trump my aunt Martha was a decent respectable republican who believed 95% of everything I believed, then Trump came along and now she's an annoying dingbat who ruins all our brunches with her crass politics"

Exactly.

Like an other comrade said, they just don't want a president that post shitty pepe memes about McDonald on twitter.

And they only pretend to suddenly care about all the gay and trans people Trump is going to slaughter?
