My hubby is a doomer also!!! What is wrong with the men we married?
Mine loved Trump but he is surrounded by doomers at work who only watch MSM and think its impossible to overturn. I keep giving him tidbits of real info but his work friends think I am a conspiracy theorist since I get info outside of MSM channels.
And his work friends are insane about the China Virus!!! They agree that Thanksgiving should be canceled. We even had Covid and he thinks we are lucky to be alive, even though it was Just The Flu!!!
Its so frustrating! At least I have TheDonald to get me through this tough time of living with deniers and Liberal speak!!!
I think your guy and his work friends get emotionally involved in Trump's win. When it doesn't look good, the shift to full doomer is an emotional defense mechanism. They build those negative expectations in advance to protect themselves so when things turn out badly, they are seeing the expected negative outcome. The alternative is disappointment and they would rather not be disappointed.
Some folks try to manifest in reverse. DH is all-in for Trump, yet he bet his gun-nut friends $100 that come January, Biden will be president. I told him I'd take that bet and made him shake on it. He said, "Come Inauguration, if you win, I'll be throwing hundred-dollar bills at you!"

That's for sure what my husband is doing.
My brother, also known as King Greaser the 3rd (wierd idk why), does this on purpose and admits it freeely.

I 100% agree with your analogy. I just know Trump is a winner and he will not disappoint us!!!
He didn't disappoint you in fact he won. They are just fucking cheating right now is why.
Agree with this prescient observation.
