In the fiction of Orson Scott Card, the most heinous acts are justified as long as they’re committed with pure intentions. Sadly, I understand where he’s coming from.
“The ends justifies the means” is, in my observations, a part of every human being’s philosophical makeup. Take it as read that the 2020 elections were fair and above-board. That doesn’t change the fact that, for millions of Americans, the moral imperative of getting Donald Trump out of office was so great that widespread election fraud wouldn’t have seemed even mildly evil in comparison to a second Trump presidential term. Everyone’s integrity has a price, but some sell it pretty cheap.
