      That’s where you’re wrong. If you (continue to) give them credit, votes, and lots of money just for not being utterly heinous fascists, they have no incentive to ever become actually GOOD.

      The lesser evil is still evil and lowering the bar every time the worst get worse is a recipe for stagnation at best.
