I lean more towards the cautiously-hopeful-at-least-try side of things, but I also firmly believe you can’t argue someone out of a fit of depression, and I can’t stand watching the in-fighting
I tapped out of my very first online conversation today for that reason. I am one of the people who thinks that even if a Biden presidency is nothing but damage control, damage control is better than damage, and it is very difficult for me not to read (2) as "so you should die because I am tired of fighting," so I am reminding myself that everyone is stressed beyond belief and equally exhausted and depressive spirals are real and people are wrong on the internet all the time without me saying anything about it. I am glad you have found a totally different argument to try not to get sucked into!
srsly, he had a detail of highly-trained ninja bodyguards that he couldn’t resist showing off, so he ordered them moved away from their strategic positions so they could stand guard in front of his door, in full view and out in the open. Stupid dream Hitler.
This is honestly not all that far off from real Hitler. Fictional Nazis tend to be so much more competent than the real ones, who never showed the slightest hesitation to shoot their war effort in the knees if they could spend the budget on genocide instead. (Or march into Russia. One of the funniest pieces of slang I know from WWII continues to be the Napoleon-Gedächtnis-Renne—the Napoleon Memorial Race—which is what survivors of the retreat from Stalingrad called it.)
