My intention is not to present myself as virtuous. My point with the virtuous comment is that this is dangerous due to the fact that both sides believe the other is evil while they are not. Its not that they disagree on some policy positions. I also believe the policies and many of the individuals are truly evil. Voting isn't going to change that.

Typically when people believe their voices are not being heard they resort to violence. Voting in the past worked for better at reducing the conflicts between different groups. That is continuing to break down. It appears to me that it is close to complete failure. The consequences of aren't going to be good. Don't think the genie can be put back in the bottle. So something is going to break. Hopefully the states will break up in a peaceful way. Since 2016 the number of people advocating for "national divorce" has increased. I'd rather see that than a civil war with riots in the streets.
