You can overthrow a flawed democracy only to end up with a fascist dictator taking totalitarian control.
Or you can vote for the guy that openly stated he’d be a dictator and that has fascist tendencies and is already working on remaking the government apparatus in his image…
That aside, I agree with your point that democracy should be preserved and used as a tool to steer your country in the right direction. It can be difficult though, being just a lone voice in a giant mass of people. Add to that that the American way of democracy is a bit biased towards Republicans with their crazy electoral college system and I can imagine that people like to phantasize about overthrowing it all in a revolution.
