I’m reminded of this line from Stewart Lee, when talking about the disillusioned British working class voting for radical political parties/causes:

“A protest vote for UKIP is like shitting your hotel bed as a protest against bad service, then realising you now have to sleep in a shitted bed.”

more like kicking out the staff after they convinced everyone that your house is a hotel that they own and operate

Still a better solution than to keep voting for parties that actively work against their constituents' interests. Unless those parties themselves change, the only alternative is violent revolution and and that is going to be a lot messier than a shitted bed.
