Yes, I would in fact prefer to live comfortably under an authoritarian regime if I'm being asked to die so that Joe Moron Whose Vote Broke Things or Person In Congress Too Lazy To Arrest Some Mofos can get to be lazyasses not expected to put in any effort.

So I'm already expected to destroy my life to clean up after messes caused by other people, often literal messes.
I don't know, how about the people I elected actually do their jobs? Or how about people who screwed up their own voting choices clean up the resulting mess? Why the hell is everything always my job there too?
Is basically where my brain is at right now, on every single level from the personal to the national to the political.
LMK when the people who screwed up have to put in the work.
You broke it, you bought it. Stop whining to me to save you from your bad choices.
I especially spent two decades of political convos in various places trying to warn people to vote better on things and just got insulted and attacked for my efforts.
Those of us who tried to warn about the way the left votes (or more precisely, doesn't vote) and messages leading us to ruin just got attacked and harassed for our efforts.
Hearing "what have you done lately" makes my eyes want to roll out the back of my head.
I mean, that's already happening as Joe Moron gets their loved one deported, or gets their benefits cut off, or whatever.
No effort from me required.
The something is Trump, Musk, and a whole lot of other people need to be removed from power and influence permanently. What form that takes, I don't care.
So either lawmakers do it peacefully, or civilians do it forcefully. I prefer the former.
But there's a dark truth you don't *want* us laypeople to genuinely have to do everything ourselves because lawmakers won't budge, since that way lies Civil Wars, revolutions, and military coups.
What changes happen are then won with blood. It's bad.
We want our lawmakers or other legal/political people to do something because we don't want to get messy. It's good.
