People grow tired of fighting with such high stakes so in the long run you just wear them out

This is true.

Sure, if Trump wins things will suck definitely but it’s not the end of the world. Ultimately biggest political parties serve various oligarchs so once Dems are inevitably back some years from now you’ll notice not much is changing for you personally.

This is where I vehemently disagree. Just because you're not going to be one of the first ones they target doesn't mean it's no big deal. They're talking about using our local police to round millions of people up and put them in camps, and you're going to sit there and tell me it's not the end of the world? Get the fuck out of here.

It's okay to be tired. Fight anyway. That is what is required to maintain Democracy. Giving in to authoritarianism because it's easier is a bitch move.

Your mistake is believing any politician, Trump included. He says crazy stuff to win votes, not to actually implement it. This is true of libs in general as well.

You haven't been paying attention. Trump tried to implement this stuff last time and was stopped by people loyal to the Constitution. ALL of those people are gone. He is surrounded by people who WILL carry out his orders. Trump rarely learns, but he has absolutely learned a lesson when it comes to staffing.

This is a ridiculous attempt to both sides. Give us an example. What compares to "we're going to detain and deport millions of people"?

I’m not interested in political theatre, I judge based on outcomes because it’s impossible to know intent.

In Poland libs were very up their arms about human rights abuse against migrants on the Belarusian border. Just months after they got back into power they formally suspended ability to request asylum (mandated by Geneva convention and EU basic rights charter). Similar stuff in France as well.
