I can imagine Trump becoming incensed by somebody referring to him as "the lesser evil."
"How dare you call me 'lesser'! I'm never lesser. You're lesser."

POLL: The Lesser of 2 Evils???
- Thread starter What Would Jesus Do?
- Start date
Polls like this are good for identifying who belongs on your ignore list.
Very few people in this world would be considered evil. Hell, if Trump just went away like he should have after 2020, I wouldn't consider him evil. I do now, because he's telling us he is. All you have to do is listen critically to what he says.
“Evil” is a bit strong.
My position is closer to: “Trump is a complete non-starter; Harris is the best remaining choice”

O Neither Trump nor Harris is competent enough, intelligent enough or committed enough to solve the political, economic and/or societal divisions that are destroying the country.
I haven't seen anything to show Harris is a bad person, I KNOW Trump is a piece of shit person....buth I hate that we have two choices because I'm not a fan of the Democrats because they're not effective when in power because they try to work with the Republicans when they shouldn't,
But the Republicans should NOT be in power till they cleanse themselves of MAGA and I really don't see that happening, because they now know that a large percentage of the country are not even halfway smart, EASILY brainwashed and swayed by imaginary problems that they don't have to even try to work with the Democrats and still get reelected.
What has DeSantis done other than cost the state BILLIONS on stupid woke shit and immigration stupidity, instead of worked on real problems like home owners insurance, etc.
Never would I have thought a complete idiot like Trump could have gotten the power he has.... Stanley Milgram was absolutely correct. Say what you want about Hitler, but at least he was great at speaking and was halfway intelligent. And Germany was in a bad place at the time... can't say the same about the US in 2016.
Humans, we don't deserve what we have

For those who have forgotten, Milgram was the learned helplessness researcher, best known for his studies of obedience.
And that humans will hurt another human just because they were told to do it. Only one wouldn't do it...one out 20 or so. My Geographic Thought professor r said the experiment was not indicated of our species as a whole because of the methodology, I wonder what he'd say now.
Most of us are sure we'd be the one with the morality/scruples not to inflict pain on others. Most of us are wrong.
Look, I don't think it's any secret that I loathe TFG but I just don't use the term “evil” except for otherworldly / paranormal shit.
I’ll give you narcissistic, hateful, spiteful, selfish, cruel, immoral, stupid, disloyal, completely devoid of empathy and/or curiosity, conceited, paranoid, and stinky. How's that?
Trump is definitely evil. He's a sociopath and has 0 conscience by definition. He's most likely sexually assaulted dozens of women. He wants to be the Vladimir Putin of the United States. I'm convinced he would kill people if he believed he could get away with it.
I can't think of a President of the United States in the last century I would call "evil" but I think Trump definitely qualifies.

adjective
- profoundly immoral and wicked.
"his evil deeds"
noun - profound immorality and wickedness, especially when regarded as a supernatural force.
"the world is stalked by relentless evil"
Historically, I haven't considered it and haven't to be considered EVIL. I wouldn't fault someone for thinking him to that level, and I could probably reevaluate into evil based on that definition..........
Trump took a case to the Supreme Court arguing that nothing he does can be considered illegal. If that's not the plot of a really evil person, then I don't know what is.
It's remarkable what media does to form our beliefs on people, and how politicians shift without consequence. I'm in favor of flip-flopping for the right reasons, but the lack of accountability is a bit stunning. This author is focused on Dem flip-flopping, but it's not a Dem issue. This is more just an illustration of what can be wiped from memory by media onslaught.
Stupid people. another stupid poll or questioner. Is it evil to separate kids and parents, is it evil to let women die because of stupid religous beliefs. Is it evil to make you carry a rapist sperm till term? There is only one party or canidate that wishs that
An idiom is a phrase or expression that has a figurative, non-literal meaning that's different from the meaning of the individual words used. Idioms are similar to private jokes between people who know them and are culturally specific. They can vary depending on the region of a country and are based on a language's syntax, or the order of words or phrases.
I don’t think your poll took the above into account. You seem to take the expression literally.
As an atheist, I tend to shy away from such religiously-charged terms as "evil" - but I can make an exception here.
"Which statement comes closest to the way you view this question?"
It's like some of you guys have never heard the expression "the lesser of 2 evils" before.
What a joke. Now the politicians have control of homeowner insurance premiums? Are you f*cking serious? However, they do have the power to rectify a “real” problem like the wide open southern border.
