      Both Sides Are Bad So Vote Republican.

      God, growing up, I heard the equivalent of that so often from the less-lead-poisoned of my conservative community.

      “Well, you don’t really know what’s true, and both sides lie. Really, both parties are just out for themselves. There’s no difference between them.”

      “So you aren’t voting?”

      “Oh no, I’m definitely voting Republican.”

      Oh yeah, “The Smaller Of Two Evils” - they said in 2016. A few years later I asked: “how did that work out for you?” - embarrassed silence. One of the best I-told-you-so-moments I ever had.
