Government / Politics
In 'Left Wing’ Communism Lenin urges the British Communists to campaign for the Labour Party where they have no candidate of their own; they will thus ‘support Henderson as the rope supports a hanged man', and the impending establishment of a government of Hendersons will hasten the latter’s political demise.

bak tali gantungan menopang orang yang digantungnya (alias mendukung habis-habisan)
Frasa di atas: as the rope supports a hanged man rasanya varian dari frasa populer di kalangan kiri: like a rope supports a hanged man.
√ Tinggal bayangkan hubungan tali gantungan dan orang yang digantungnya: tidak akan pernah lepas kecuali tali dilonggarkan atau dipotong. Jadi, mendukung habis-habisan atau membabibuta.
Berikut kisah seorang pemilih yang mendukung Partai Buruh walau tidak sepenuhnya percaya kata-kata partai itu, dan bahkan menganggapnya partai lemah.

I vote purely on my "preferred electoral choice", it doesn't mean that support everything that the candidate says, or that I even like the party. Until 1995 I was supporting the Labour Party in elections, and yet I considered the Labour Party to be hopelessly inadequate and only supported it like a rope supports a hanged man.

mencekik pas untuk mengadaptasikan 'support' di sini
alasannya seperti yang disebutkan sdr/i Nikolas Pangutama & riariastuti
