It isn’t defeatism to realize there isn’t a game in the first place. It isn’t defeatism to know that Vince McMahon decides who wins and loses the wrestling match. It isn’t defeatism to understand that no matter how many times you watch the horror movie and hope against hope, Freddy Krueger will kill most of the characters. Realism isn’t defeatism. The defeat comes when you keep giving them your consent. And “facts are facts,” the economy under Trump was “better” because they allowed it to be better so that microbrains would think he was part of the solution, rather than that the economy is run by the Federal Reserve and the jews, not Trump.
