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?
