This.
The most basic rule of practical politics is that you have to make deals.
To bad politics have been made impractical.
I don't know what you mean by "impractical."
Look at it this way. It's WW2 and the Nazis have already taken most of Europe including Poland and France.
Are you going to sit on your hands and let Hitler get everything he wants because the US and England are racist?
I get your point but its not because of that. The reasons are varied why Trump won but primarily its because ~70% of the population failed to prevent him from winning.
I'm not responsible for any of this shit. I did not sign up to being born. I did not sign up for a leftist revolution where I die a martyr to a doomed cause so left accellerationists can circle jerk over my corpse as they LARP.
I'm going to hunker down, try to survive. Though admittedly even if I do make it to the end of this shit show my cynicism towards the average person will never go away.
So, you're saying you're part of the 70% that did nothing, and seeing what's going on, you intend to do more nothing.
I did stuff before the election like canvass and would have been enthusiastic to do more had Harris won.
But yeah... my motivation is in the core of the earth now... I can barely motivate myself to do basic upkeep in my own life now a days let alone putting effort externally.

Not everyone gets the luxury of sitting it out.
