So instead you just lie and pretend the lesser evil is the greater evil?

Never said this, no.

I'm guessing you didn't have a lot of family or friends directly devastated by Trump's actions? If so, how can you be so bloody heartless?

You're right, other than the fact that I moved away from my home state in part due to the rise in anti-trans sentiment and legislation (and obviously he continued the wars too so he's at least as bad). I and my family were, however, directly affected by Obama's actions in pointlessly extending the wars of aggression in the Middle East. You can read about my experiences here

Peace is absolutely not even close to being enough to address all the impending and on-going crises affecting this country. I am being extremely lax, generous, and accommodating by setting it as my sole precondition. The fact that you want me to abandon all of my principles and every single precondition so the democrats can keep following the republicans right in a self-defeating strategy is not my problem.

I call this "taking the majority hostage"

Excellent, if I have the power to take the majority hostage to the end of achieving peace, I intend to take full advantage of it.
