Why? Because the alternative will lead to people watching their loved ones get hurt or die. People are used to a peaceful existence for the most part, and particularly in the US, food and medicine being regularly available.
If we have to shoot our way out, many will pay a grave cost. I’m not saying it’s not a potential outcome, and if it comes to that, it is what it is, but I don’t blame people for wanting to find any alternative that doesn’t involve the complete social collapse of a civilization.

Technically people didn’t vote their way into this if we are to believe the second election was rigged… but that doesn’t matter now does it

Unless you’re dead, you can at least try. Beats folding your arms and complaining that this jumping strategy pails in comparison with your superiour strategy of wishing really hard you could fly.

You wouldn’t even have time to fold your arms before you were dead. Being able to jump into the lava doesn’t imply that jumping can save you from lava.
