I do what i can, i am a student, i walk wherever i can, i try to tell my friends and family about better alternatives, what else do you suppose i do? The amount of people supporting authoritarian leaders is insane, its not 40 or 50%, its closer to 90% how can i stand up to them?, it doesn’t matter what kind of government system you have, rich people can and will suppress any opinion against them, and the government will support it
Not to mention that these people feed these things to their children from a very young age, they still don’t know how to to do basic multiplication accurately but do know which people they want to be leaders and know how to discriminate people based on their beliefs and even their ethnicity. Changing their opinion is like changing a fact for them
History loves to repeat itself, this cycle of authoritarian and democratic regime(s) has been one of them, and i am afraid we are at the former part of the cycle. I am doing whatever i can to prevent this, but in the back of my mind, i know that my words or feelings are unlikely to cause a significant change
Edit: wanted to clarify that the numbers are anecdotal and it might vary for you or from a survey, but you cant deny that they are a massive chunk
I just want to say good on you for doing your part. And I also want to say that I don’t think the majority support extremes, I think it’s just that the extremists are SO much louder and so it’s all we hear. I think the majority are like you and me and just want someone reasonable to lead the country. Just keep voting, I know it feels like it doesn’t do anything but it’s our main way to really speak and it does matter.
Side bar, if you’re a student it most likely means that you’re a lot younger than me and it makes me so sad that this is how you’ve had to see and live the world. No pressure but if you are younger the future is truly in your hands.

Like i said it’s anecdotal…
