Exactly.
Make it difficult to vote in person. Then invade and terrorise any people that even think about voting against them.
To add more terror they'll murder mothers in their cars (Renee Good) and unarmed nurses (Alex Pretti) to show what may/will happen if you turn up to vote.
And the people saying "don't worry, we'll turn this around at the mid terms" are wondering why they've been laughed at or scorned.
You don't fight a murderous dictatorship this way. You get out there and protest. And start general strikes.
The fat orange child rapist is laughing at all this.
While the in-person protests are awesome for how large they are and I feel they're good for spreading the mood, they themselves are ridiculously easy to ignore.
A bunch of people screaming on the street for a few hours. Oh no. Whatever will the administration do? How will they ever defeat that? They can just ignore people! /s
I look at protests as events to reach/inspire people who can actually figure out how to DO something other than ask Fascists to "pwetty pweeese stop :(".
Protests serve 2 purposes. They act to spread a message and connect people.
They also act as a warning. We are willing to invest effort in this to change things. If you don't change, some of us will put the effort into other methods, some of which are... far more unpleasant for you. We also act as support to the people doing this.
The latter is important. For a good example, look at the Northern Ireland troubles.
Protests can change things if they are big enough and are done correctly.
Which is why I also mentioned a general strike. Protests have already been ignored by the paedo in chief, but it's very difficult to just ignore strikes if they are organised and continued.
