“LOL. You think your vote matters? ROFL and LOL.” Yes, I am aware my vote carries less and less relative power the more people I’m voting with, but unlike your glorious violent revolution, it actually exists.

The Glorious Violent Revolution fantasy is the Rapture for leftists.

#my take is that the glorious revolution fantasy and the rapture fantasy and the apocalypse fantasy all appeal to the same impulse #and it not a Those People I Hate impulse it's a human impulse #where everything bad suddenly goes away (it won't) and we can handle the aftermath (we wouldn't) #i'm not going to blame anyone for enjoying fantasies like that #where "enjoy" means things like "watch the walking dead" #but when it gets to a point where people are basing important decisions on it #like whether to vote or not #it becomes a problem #fantasize responsiblyALT
