I don't, but also I'm fucking doing it. It takes all of five minutes. You've got the time to do it. You might as well. It can only help. It won't solve the problem, but it will make it harder for them.

I'm gonna vote, too, even though I fully expect to be arrested at some point for TDS because I voted for someone he didn't endorse.

Oh absolutely. Keep engaging the system, such as it is. But know it won’t be enough. More is required. More that will not be done white knight riding to the rescue.

Yep, vote. 'Cause why not, it won't make their job easier.

On the other hand, start thinking about escape.

No that's the thing: If the problem isn't solved by the midterms, it's already checkmate. The main goal of an aspiring dictator like Trump is to disable the system's checks and balances and prepare for their ultimate seizure of power. Thanks to decades of executive overreach most of the groundwork is already in place, so it's entirely possible that Trump can get to a point where launching a coup is a realistic prospect by the end of the year, in which case he's just going to do it because he can't afford to be removed from power or he'll be thrown in jail.

it's already there… why do you idiots keep moving the goalpost to justify your inaction?

Don't worry, they'll make up for it by endlessly wanking about a glorious revolution that they haven't even begun to lay the groundwork for, while attacking any attempt to make actual change as "incrementalism".
