I would conclude that it's not the voters that need a warning, but the leaders.
In a democracy, if you don't support the will of your voter base, you deserve to lose the election. It's not the voters fault when politicians run completely ineffective campaigns.
And fuck the "lesser evil" utilitarian horseshit. The Nazis currently running the federal government justify everything they do based on utilitarian principles.
ICE's terror campaign? It's the lesser of two evils. We can't let crime run rampant!
Destroying international law and invading sovereign countries? A lesser evil required by our national security.
The mass corruption of the administration? DIsmissable as a lesser evil necessary to advance necessary policies.
The literal historical Nazis justified everything they did on utilitarian grounds. They claimed murdering millions of innocent people was an unfortunate necessity, the lesser evil of many bad options.
You have to start your ethics from a framework of respect for persons. Everything else just leads you to Hell.
