This is like basic trolly problem shit.

No it fucking isn't. Because the basic trolly problem doesn't have the trolly loop back around to the start every four years with increasingly large amounts of new people placed on the track each time. You got your fucking "lesser evil" win in 2020, and it led to the worst atrocities of our era.

You're not actually approaching this as a consequencalist, you're just looking at your own self interest and trying to work backwards to justify it.
