If the lesser evil is the lesser evil, than merely preventing the greater evil is of value. From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:
Yes, I know. This dirty business of elections is just what Bismarck meant when he spoke of sausage making and how you’ll never want to eat one again once you see how they’re made.
But elections do matter.
Consider what just didn’t happen in Virginia, because Glenn Youngkin was elected governor. Youngkin may not be Thomas Jefferson – or even Rand Paul – but he just vetoed 30 (not a typo) “gun control” bills that had been put forward by the Leftists who control the state legislature, who wanted to control people’s right to defend themselves by criminalizing it. If the bills these Leftists put forward had been signed into law, it would have become criminal to possess many kinds of guns as well as illegal to buy or sell “high capacity” magazines, among other things. It would have become a criminal offense to carry a gun in many of the public places where it is currently legal – such as restaurants where alcohol is served. Even if the person isn’t drinking.
Even if the person already possesses a concealed carry permit.
None of these bills will become law – because of Youngkin. More finely, because Youngkin rather than his Leftist opponent in the last election, the Clinton apparatchik Terry McAuliffe, was elected. Had the latter won the election, he would almost certainly have not only signed into law every one of those bills but proposed even more laws transforming citizens into criminals for nothing more than possessing the means of defending themselves.
I love the School House Rock update cartoon with a big wad of cash for the how the laws get made song.

Now the fabric of society is torn apart and there is a lot of ruin left in the former republic.
Prepare. Playtime is over.
