Every time I see doomerist bullshit like this I think about that amazing night when he almost died and then I think about how I'm going to get to celebrate his death and what an amazing fucking party that will be.

It makes no sense given all the tumult. A global epidemic wasn’t on the radar in 2019, much less in 2016. 2004 heralded “the permanent Republican majority” and 2008/2012 “the permanent Democratic majority,” until both predictions turned to dust 24 months later.

I think he's using "hope" to mean "expectation of a good outcome" instead of how I would define it here, "belief in the possibility of a good outcome." You can keep fighting without the former, but fighting without the latter is only a gesture.

Maybe I just have a naturally optimistic disposition to the point of delusion, but I'm actually very hopeful about the future. The timeline where we remake America and the world while destroying our reactionary enemies feels so real that I could almost touch it. We need only reach for it.

This is actually a thing though: as I recall, the people whose hope depended on some salvation or reprieve are the ones who supposedly crack hardest in POW/concentration camps. The ones who make it are the ones who refuse to give up

On a related note, the American character of not doing stuff—be that giving up in the face of oppression or participating in civil society—simply because somebody said you had to is both our greatest strength and weakness. Naughty raccoon-ass nation.
