And for that, I have a “leverage” on you that I don’t have on a Trump voter - the proposition that you don’t want a conservative dystopia.

Again, wrong on both counts. I'm already not supporting a conservative dystopia so you don't have that leverage over me. Meanwhile, there are many people who vote Trump don't intend to support a conservative dystopia, so you would have leverage over them.

You are not actively supporting it, but you are not making the minimal effort to oppose it either.

Why are they voting for the candidate who promises a conservative dystopia then?

You're vastly overestimating the level of political literacy of the average American, let alone the average Trump voter.
