My cynicism doesn’t really fall into those categories. I very much know what difference democracy and dictatorship makes and I also don’t think we’re resigned to a terrible future outcome. It’s more about the present state of affairs and most of the present voters and most of the present leadership.

Even if Trump loses, Trump is gonna get like 40% of the vote. In a sane world, he wouldn’t be the nominee and he wouldn’t get more than 5% of the vote if he did. I think not being honest about that reality is just naive. And I think not being cynical about it is just unrealistic.

I think he’ll win.

It’s certainly possible. If you asked me today, my answer would be no. I’d give him 30% odds. But a lot can and a lot *will* happen between now and the election.
