false hope is worse than no hope at all imo, because it just sets you up for a crash against the brick wall of reality. he said he knew trump would remain so he either has terrible judgement or he lied, both of which are irresponsible because thousands of people believed him. and it already has reached the delusional stage. we crossed the threshold from 'irrational hope' into straight up delusion about one month ago, halfway through december. at least a lot of people did. anyone who still thought trump could somehow be president. the idea that pence could've done anything on the 6th to give trump a 2nd term was pure delusion. anyone who thinks there's even the remotest chance that trump gets a second term now, is certifiably insane.
