You both make good points. For me it comes down to: is it possible to cripple the government to a great enough extent to deprive the left of its power when they already have so much momentum? Or is it easier to hijack the machine they've built, take it to its obvious conclusion, and forcefully end the problem? Considering the overwhelming resistance Trump has received from the system I think option two has a greater chance of success. However, if Trump wins, I'm willing to reassess in 4 years.
