    I vote in all the elections because while the nation isn’t real, the actions are. And because if I don’t vote my mom will disown me. And I don’t really think my vote does anything at a state or national level anyway.

    The best analogy I can give is being an atheist in a religious dictatorship. If you go around saying “none of this is real and you’re all insane” people get mad. Their power, while illegitimate, is very real and a lot of people endorse it.
