Relatedly, I could not imagine that Trump would improve on his 2020 performance. It was totally inconceivable that after the campaign he ran, his various legal troubles, and Jan 6 that he would get more votes than last time

Genuinely even if it were likely true that everything is fucked, it leaves us nowhere. Like the alternative to fighting the good fight is just to lay down and die. I have a family for whom I have to fight.
