there’s nothing neo about this, let’s not even give them the credit of originality. This is exactly what happened 100 years ago.

Organize. Sabotage. General strike. Protest. Political action isn’t one day every four years.

That was with moderates and non-partisan civil servants playing interference on his worst ideas.
You remember everything that came out about how people would ignore his orders until he forgot?
None of those people will be there

focus on profits rather than human well-being, period, is destroying the world

This is a fair point. It becomes a matter of which questions we’re asking as a society, though. Of course we are not at a stage where capital is the only driving force for science (thank goodness for public funding) but it’s not far fetched that we might be, and a world where questions are only asked in the context of profit generation (and unsatisfying answers are suppressed) is a dystopian world indeed.
It’s fair to say capitalism is having a negative impact on science (e.g. journals) but it’s not as dire as what’s suggested

Capitalism isn’t just about “things need funding” the point of the meme is that capitalists determine what gets funding. A socialist state might put economic force behind other scientific endeavors, ones driven by capital are intended to create profit. The profit motive drives innovation instead of the pure ideological pursuit of truth or any other driver.

If a person is alive at the time of voting, it makes sense to me to count it. They might die after the election before inauguration too.
Plus removing recently deceased people’s already cast votes opens up creative violent ways to help your team which I’m not a fan of either
