Comments like this are one of a few things.

Bad faith, and useful idiots intentionally trying to keep people from wanting to go out and vote, which only helps MAGAts.

And dumbass, blind as shit privileged people who think nothing has changed in the last decade because you're simply not part of the target groups yet.

Life is so much worse for so many people because of Trump and to pretend like it wouldn't get worse with a second presidency (you know, the one where they intend to destroy democracy and the voting process and have said as much and have documents detailing how they plan to do it) is simply idiotic.

But democracy and the voting process brought us Trump! It brought us genocide, it brought us child separation, it brought us the CIA, it brought us children in solitary confinement, it brought us the police force, it brought us Vietnam, it brought us nuking Japanese civilians, it brought us indigenous genocide, it brought us Flint, it brought us the highest rate of incarceration in the world over the last century.

What does destroying US democracy and US voting actually, materially, change?

the genocide filth that imho lasts >400years now has never been removed in the first place, i'ld guess it wasn't brought there by voting process, but it wasn't removed by it either.

Oh the genocide was absolutely a function of the republic qua republic. Elected representatives dealt with "the Indian problem" in various ways that garnered votes.
