That strategy will get you killed. They made a choice. And while we’re diddling away trying to reason with them they’ll be terrorizing and killing minorities.
When people advocate for increasing voter turnout, I have to wonder what that’s supposed to magically change about the election outcome.
Certainly, there’s the Idea that, “when people vote, Democrats win.” Even if true, that’s merely a correlation. It could be that the non-voters are mostly Democratic-leaning and need an inspiring Democratic candidate to come out and vote for; or it could be that their leanings are divided similarly to the voters’, and an inspiring Democratic candidate causes the Democratic-leaning half to come out and vote.
My feeling, though, is that it’s likely forcing the other 34% to vote would not materially change the election results, or the policy outcomes, beyond higher vote totals.
Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and still won. The American fascist movement is speeding along just fine with genocide Joe in the white house who refuses to even call these people fascists and the justice system is completely failing to hold trump and his associates accountable for their actions. If trump wins again he promises to turn the US into an even more fascist state than it already is with the help of his fascist goons. The class traitor pigs in every city will enforce his will. Hell, even if he doesn’t win he’ll probably try to seize power.
Might be time to learn how to use a weapon and start forming armed community defense networks where you live.
Libs can bury their heads in the sand all they want thinking they can negotiate with fascists but eventually they’ll come for you too.

Only 66% of eligible voters turned out in 2020. Instead of talking about shooting people, we could be getting those folks to the polls.

Stopping people from voting has been a Right tactic for decades.

“Both sides are the same” is a favorite GOP line.
