The amount of times on Reddit I saw supposedly left-wing people claiming the only solution in the US was violent revolution and anarchy and that our democratic institutions are not salvageable was very telling.

I often tried to bring reality into the conversation in these cases. Ask basic questions, how will millions get food when grocery stores are closed and roads are bombed out or sabotaged? What would stop the food producers from starving us out and protecting land preventing us from taking it? What about nuclear weapons, you can't just leave them be? What about other countries, they're not going to watch the most powerful military and econmic power from the sidelines.
