Um, er, who said I was voting for Trump/Vance? Is your thinking so binary that my thinking Walz is too dictatorial means I am gonna vote for Trump and Vance. The Democrats have given us a really inadequate candidate pairing. Do I have to vote for them because the Republicans gave us an inadequate pairing? Or maybe we should find someone at least adequate to vote for.We’ll have to agree to disagree on this because nothing could make me vote for Trump/Vance.
I'll say it one more time. Detrich von Hildebrand (look him up and look up his political theory) tried hard to get the German populace out of their thinking that you had to vote Communist to stop the National Socialists OR vote National Socialist to stop the Communists. That was the mindset in late Weimar Germany. You had to vote for one to stop the other. The middle ground disappeared. It wasn't that people really wanted the National Socialists by any huge margin. They just voted for the bad guys because they were not the other bad guys. So ... they got the bad guys. The other bad guys would also have been terrible, as any German who survived the Stazi could tell you.
And voting for bad guys does something in the heads of voters. It pre-conditions them to accepting the bad things those bad guys they voted for start doing. It's operant conditioning. The bad guy you vote for becomes your guy, and you start approving bad things you would otherwise never approve of. The way out of this trap is to not vote for bad guys in the first place.
