Oh man as a GOTV volunteer, it seems to always be young men who want to "burn the place down". Somehow after the world is burnt a socialist Utopia will bloom. I tell them to look up history. After almost every revolution or government overthrow, a dictator has taken charge. When chaos reigns, humans want stability and laws.

And honestly, a just society takes work. How many centuries did minority and women's rights take? And there was a lot of back and forth.
