In my experience the most cynical people are the ones who deep down want the most to believe.

Imagine if Joe Biden was the real Hitler...the whole crime bill and prosecutor and all. Let’s build some more camps.

Like reverse projection? Something like, but short of introjection? I want to believe there is any reason to hope, work for, demand realistic change. I want to believe and I'm cynical - can see enough of my shadow. What now?

You’re wrong. The most cynical people are the ones who once truly did believe.

Cynicism is optimism scorned.
