Yet no matter how you rationalize it, the lesser of two evils is still evil.
How can you ever trust the government again?
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, you shouldn't have trusted the government in the first place. It was Thomas Jefferson who warned, "In questions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."
Unfortunately, as Carl Sagan recognized, "If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."
How do you fight evil? Start by recognizing it. Talk about it. Refuse to play politics with your principles. Don't settle for the lesser of two evils. Stop being apathetic.
As British statesman Edmund Burke warned, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men [and women] to do nothing."
