Until there's a paradigm shift within the GOP, every election from here on out will be the most important of our lives, with far-reaching REAL repercussions (and loss of current freedoms) every single time the GOP wins. It's nice to want a better situation, but for now we have to deal with the problem in our face.

Do you think the average voter sees it that way? Do you think well be able to convince them that they should be eternally afraid of the GOP, while the GOP is also trying to convince voters they should be eternally afraid of the Dems? Most people do not pay nearly that much attention, and eventually theyre just going to go numb from it all and not vote, or vote for the GOP. We cant keep making every election one where our democracy is at stake no matter how true it is, because eventually the average voter is going to think were crying wolf.

The best thing we can do is vote, but eventually dealing with the problem is very likely going to require a more violent solution. Faith that the system will eventually get us back on the rails is fine; blind faith to that making us ignore that the system may also fail is not.
