there is a distinct difference between calling a pol who votes for a 15 foot fence a lesser evil and one that votes for a 20 foot fence because 15 feet is wasier to climb thab 20.
A person that funds abortion, wants gay everything or one who trucks in Democrats like the UAW to bench a conservative is not a ‘lesser evil’.
Until something even worse comes your way, then you will wonder why you did not ask God to propitiously use the best levers you had.
You’re right. When the “lesser” evil uses the “greater” evil to defeat you, realize there is no lesser or greater evil. They’re all evil.
