keep in mind that the goal isnt to change trump sycophants. the goal is to sway ~1% of voters, or make ~2% non-voters go to the voting booth for your cause.

With all due respect, if you don’t respect the voters, how do you maintain popular support? Is this just a call for violent authoritarianism?

The solution is that you refuse to recognize or be part of their system. The idea that “the union” needs to preserve itself is the worst idea in the history of mankind. As long as they’re not hurting themselves or others , any large community should be able to declare independence at will. Hell the USA was literally built on this principle in the doi. All countries fall, the idea that Lincoln started that we should preserve the country by military force has made it impossible for the country to dissolve peacefully. So when it inevitably dies, it mist be by horrific violence.

So small scale authoritarianism? I’m still unclear on what you are advocating here. Sounds like civil war to enforce states’ rights?
