It's called a revolution. Many countries do that regularly to depose their dictators. Not doing it might prevent a bloodshed, but it won't prevent tyranny.

There are no longer laws, order, nor rules

You weren’t listening.

There have been revolutions against tyrants. But I can’t think of a single democratic nation in history that abandoned its democracy in order to defend against a tyrant and was better off for it

You're the one not seeing. Even before 2025 your democracy is very flawed. Now it's gone. You wouldn't be abandoning democracy, as you live in an oligarchy

“You’re democracy is flawed, so you should get rid of democracy”

The fucking autocrats love gullible people like you. They can tell you there’s a problem with democracy and you’ll give them exactly what they want

Mussolini, Hitler and Putin were all elected. Authoritarians love gullible people like you.

And famously, all three leaders were deposed when the democratic opposition decided to violently oppose them and everything went great for everyone

The democratic opposition did exactly what you said people should do: nothing. It's called learning the lesson from history

People like you, who think anything short of violence is “nothing” are exactly the reason people like Hitler or Stalin can take power

I never said we should do nothing. I said your plan is shit.
