You could've just voted for Kamala and there wouldn't be any need for violence. The US isn't a democracy because Americans prefer violence over democracy.
Trumps America is truly what America has always been without the squeaky clean public relations veneer of respectability. He takes it two steps above where the dems do. America has needed an uprising since before I was born and its the moderate liberal like you cheerleading for team blue standing in the way.
Joe Biden didnt fix the problem and neither would Kamala. They are the new wheels and a coat of paint on the orphan grinder and trump is a new grinding wheel. The problem is the machinery and you cant fix that with a vote for team blue.
Have you ever considered that the Democractic party isn't 100% aligned with your views because there's more people out there that disagree with you than agree with you? That's part of democracy, accepting that the will of the people may not be the same as what you want and accepting that you need to convince others of your views.
If most people don't agree with you, and you want to use violence to impose your will on others, then you're just an authoritarian. You aren't going to accomplish anything through violence when you're incapable of convincing anyone through peaceful means. Even if you get power through violence you'd just be another tyrant that people would need to destroy to be able to live in a society they want to live in.
Instead of romanticizing revolutions, maybe try studying the ones that have happened in history and apply some critical thinking. Wanting to end democracy to get your way makes you a fascist no matter how much you tankie rationalizations you try to paint it over with.
Tell that to France. I think they’re doing quite well. They refused to put up with 1789 oligarchs.
