Small, acceptable amounts of evil allows for a larger amount of evil the next time. If you compound that over decades, you have our current situation. You can’t vote your way out of our current situation.
Less evil creates more evil. Less evil is like taking a small amount of poison, finding that didn’t kill you so you decide a slighter larger amount is worth the risk. When they doesnt kill you, you risk a slightly larger dose.
Did you ignore everything I said? Nobody is saying “less evil is fine, let’s go for more evil”. Well, nobody who voted against Trump anyway.
Let’s try your analogy again: you were presented with a glass full of poison, and a glass half full of poison, and told you had to choose one to drink. If you did not choose the choice would be made for you.
Instead of choosing the glass half full then trying to find some way to reduce and mitigate the damage, people said “there’s no such thing as a lesser poison” and drank the full glass.
Even more so with a greater evil.
Nobody is saying “settle for the lesser evil”. They are saying it’s easier to fight for progress against the lesser evil than the greater evil.

Nobody said “acceptable”. Moving from “more evil” to “less evil” is how you make progress towards “no evil”.
