I do. I phrased it the way I did because if Trump did nothing of value he was still better than the alternative because of how bad they were.
My primary objective will always be fulfilled by voting for him (Not Harris/Hillary), everything else is just various shades of lackluster/disappointing to great.
This mentality is why things never change. Trump's on his second term so it doesn't matter for him specifically anymore, but you have to be willing to withold support from these people if they won't do what you want no matter how much they brow beat about "lesser of two evils."
This election was my last hurrah with "lesser of two evils" politics. I figure a second Trump term is the perfect line in the sand on that.
I don't believe things can change because the necessity to reach the changes I want require dismantling of far more of society and culture than we can get through a government, especially an elected one. Women will never vote to give up their right to vote, blacks will never get deported or genocided, and we will never get a mass Rope Day for all the Leftists/Israel Dual Citizens in Congress and across the Nation. My politics will never be actually represented by a single person running.
If the revolution starts, I'll be there. I've even spent a long time sowing seeds for it. But we are nowhere near close to enough people joining to make it any more than suicidal and worthless. As such, the lesser of two is simply prolonging the relative stability of daily living until the conditions are prepared for such a day.
I'll still act the same and withhold or give support as per needed. This isn't absolving of action, its a mentality to maintain my own mind from becoming obsessed with politics that I lose the forest for the trees. If Trump fails, I won't have a Nick Fuentes level meltdown about how he is the worst shit in existence and no one should vote for him because that's counter productive in all forms.
There's still a chance you can extract concessions - real ones, not just cathartic electoral victories - if you play your cards right, and even failed attempts to do that can lurch toward progress by demystifying politics.
I said nothing to the contrary. I was giving a flippant and dumb answer to a low effort troll, and minimizing my beliefs into the most barebones form to your low effort gotcha question.
But in the end, he is still better than the alternative today no matter what else happens.
