I think this is an important topic, but couching it in this brief cultural moment or one political party is cutting scope a lot.<p>For example, rather than rants and raves about a particular ex-president or party, there are plenty of highly-auditable voting systems, which I remember being pretty vocal about 10 years ago. Things like paper trails matter a lot [1]. Theoretically, both sides should be in perfect agreement on the importance of that...<p>>>> “If only 20% of the population is like, ‘You’re not my president, I’m going to double down on my mask resistance,’ or ‘I’m going to continue to have parties over the holidays,’ that means we are going to be even less likely to bring this thing under control,”<p>No. I think this kind of whining is only giving/attributing power to the losing fraction. 30% of Americans still supported Nixon even AFTER he got caught at watergate. Certainly 30% of Americans were unhappy about desegregation in those areas. Too bad for them.<p>1 - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_auditable_voting_systems" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_auditable_voting_sy...</a>
