My view on it:
Everyone is someone's lesser evil.
The lesser of two evils argument was effective in 2008 & 2012 for me, personally, because there was actually a better candidate. I didn't mind "throwing away my vote" because there was one person in the running who truly deserved it. In this case, there isn't. My calculations have been adapted for the situation:
If I vote for Trump and things get worse, then I haven't really lost anything. Meaning: Things were going to get worse regardless, if Kamala wins.
Is that kind of lame? Yes. But it's logical if you think that Trump might be even the least bit better on certain issues.
I don't really view Trump as a lesser evil. I think Trump is an egotistical narcissist, but I don't think he's evil. Kamala, and the machine she represents, is absolutely 100% demonic evil.
While "good vs evil" may be too much of a stretch, "accidentally usually bad vs intentionally evil" seems like an accurate description of the two choices.
