More or less. Making your voice heard and educating people (maybe yourself) in the process is a pretty essential approach that I was trying to get at. Saying that we both want and can do certain things (or that we refuse to accept others) by directly speaking to your social circle and leaders to familiarize and potentially spread your ideas can be useful. Centrism is not.
I consider the government to be acting counter to democracy while being upheld by these democratic barriers though. The attitude that you take what you get in a time like this is essentially shrugging your shoulders at brownshirts. Like one of them said: "this will always remain one of the best jokes of democracy, that it gave its deadly enemies the means by which it was destroyed."
I think it would be more effective for bad things to happen to billionaires than politicians fwiw.
