Ah, I think I know what's happened here. We often point out how voting for the "lesser evil" just results in the government becoming more evil over time. Liberal hate this, and don't want it to be true. So they assert that the opposite is true, that somehow, not voting is the thing that makes the government bad. If they view something as an insult, but don't understand it, they just adopt the "no u" attitutide towards that, and combine that with a healthy dose of repeating themselves enough times to make something become true. I think I might call this phenomenon "Dorothyism" after the wizard of Oz, they just repeat "They're the ones doing the bad thing, not me" over and over again, hoping it will return them back to Kansas.

yes, things have gotten worse, but if you think about it, none of the past elections have had 100% voter turnout, so clearly that's the reason
