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.
