In general, the people ARE actually pretty progressive (as evidenced byprogressive policies tending to be favored by overwhelming majorities when not attached to the name of someone the establishment has spent millions if not billions vilifying).
The main problem is that the political system has fallen so deep into corruption that it’s a representative democracy in name only.
It’s way past time for rebellion against not just the fascists, but also the system itself and the Democrats who consider it more important than the general welfare of the people.
Revolution sounds exhausting. Blaming voters means I can simply wait for other people to change by learning the right lessons even though they never seem to.
It is. But at some point, the tank fills and continuing to bend over backwards to survive the boring dystopia becomes even MORE exhausting.
Whether we’re there yet is debatable, but more and more people seem to think so.

That is a good point, and I think the difficult part is the initial change. Once you connect to a revolutionary/vanguard community with it’s own cultural riches on the other end then it is as you say, the less exhausting option.
