This really betrays a lack of understanding of the structure of the government in the US. The Constitution, for better and worse, heavily insulates the government from tempestuous public opinion. The framers were readers of greek history who understood that democracy was a condition that a republic could devolve into. They built the system to give the voters the vibes that they had a say in the workings of their government while ensuring that in reality they had no such thing.
What are you trying to say? That the poor poor citizens' hands are tied? That they simply have to watch from the sidelines while their dear leader does its best zo sow ruin and carnage? This problem will never be solved while americans duck away from responsibility like they are about to win a limbo competition.
It's very easy to get on a tech forum and say "let's you and them fight," but violent revolution is generally pretty awful and typically ends up with worse conditions than they started with. I don't begrudge anyone for not wanting to go outside the regular electoral process.
