like a chicken voting for the Kentucky colonel

A voter supporting a candidate who will only do that voter (or others like them) harm once elected.

A chicken voting for Colonel Sanders might have made sense initially... the chicken is housed and fed. In the long run, the chicken is slaughtered, butchered, cooked and eaten.

Someone like Caitlin Jenner, a trans woman, voting to support a MAGA candidate is a prime example that looks like a chicken voting for the Kentucky colonel.

An analogous concept would be voting for the Leopards Eating Faces party and then acting shocked when the leopard eats *your* face. Why do people (or chickens) do this?

Voting

A way to make a country look more democratic than it is, especially during a pandemic.

No wonder some groups of people seem a little more desperate to get people to vote this year, they want to perpetuate their illusion of having more rights than they actually do, kind of like a herd. The process of voting, the whole atmosphere of going to the polling stations and voting helps maintain the illusion of a country being more democratic than it really is. The people going out and voting aren't usually the same ones making the decisions about what businesses get shut down, or mask mandates. They're usually the ones being told to wear a mask, or where not to go (until it's time to vote, then they're told to go to the polling station, just like a herd).
