Honestly he's just cynical. I really can't blame him with how bad things have gotten.
Textbook conservative is desiring these outcomes. He's just accepting that there's not very much we can do to change them.
You know even if the Democrats strengthen their majority in Congress, all of the MAGA losers will pull a Trump and say the elections are rigged (unless they win of course).
Shit is very bleak. I do have hope that we can get through it, but it won't be easy.
