Voting matters period.
It's fucking so stupid of you to sit there and try to act like violence is the only solution. Violence especially now when so disorganized and divided will just result in a speedier decline to fascism. There is no world where Americans march into the streets with their guns and win, it ain't happening. People acting like it would work are either A) not in this fucking country and have no idea of the people they're talking about or B) probably supporting the fascists in the first place.
We're literally seeing this government go after elected officials BECAUSE they know they could derail their goal. Because voting works.
The reason America is like this is a lack of education and misinformation. The only solution to that is education and information. If you think an ignorant and ill informed society full of bravado and nationalism should march into the streets and fight, you're fucking kidding yourself.
What you're imagining is an instant solution and that's not gonna happen either. It will be at a minimum 20 years before we have a voting bloc that is possibly educated enough to circumvent the misinformation and ignorance of the current majority of voters and push towards actual lasting progress.
The French revolution resulted in a direct downward turn for France. The Russian revolution resulted in a direct downward turn for Russia. America will fail its attempted violent revolution, you'll end up kneecapping progress as actual useful, intelligent individuals are jailed or murdered by the state while violent morons ascend to power. It's not the solution, it won't ever be a solution.
Currently people are working on organizing efforts, in the last two decades voters are more involved and more informed. It's the response to a lying administration and an acknowledgement of corruption. The only path is forward straight through unyielding. It's not throwing a fit and blowing up the road ahead of you, losing all direction and throwing millions into an abyss of "what if" that's the shit jaded 17 year olds think.
And while quoting hitchhikers guide is cute, the reality is there are no lizard people. They're just regular people. If you overthrow them, you're replacing them with just as awful people.
