Look, obviously vote like your life depends on it, but we're going to have to do something more than vote eventually.
This is the third election we've had to deal with Trump. This kind of threat to democracy will exist with every election until we do something to make the US population less fascist.
Fortunately, we have a cult of personality surrounding an elderly man, rather than a legitimate political movement, so he will eventually die and take a lot of political energy with him.
It's gonna be interesting to watch Republicans turn on each other in the resulting power vacuum in their party.
Unless they all coalesce around a younger, more smarter man with Trumps ideals.
