      At least my ethics stay intact, and I'm able to say with a prime voice "All of you who voted for her or him, this a problem not mine. I stayed out of it, so I would not be held accountable by your actions."

I disagree that your ethics would be intact. Failing to act to stop a greater evil is in no way ethical. That would be like standing by and letting a violent crime proceed which you could have stopped and then patting yourself on the back because you refrained from using violence. Staying out of it is not the high ground. It's avoiding responsibility and is nothing to be admired.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
