He argues that neither Trump winning nor Biden/Harris winning will meaningfully change anything, longs for the country to return to political apathy, and mocks activists who were checked out during Obama's presidency.
- If Trump loses, Kamala Harris will become president and the country will be destroyed, but it'll be somewhat livable during that period.
- Trump isn't turning the country around, and the forces and mechanics prevent him from getting anything done because he's too volatile.
- Tim expresses a desire to return to apathy and stop caring about politics entirely.
- During the Obama years, the same people claiming activism now were doing comedy in Brooklyn dressed as flappers, completely apathetic.
- Nothing has ever changed through elections, and Tim asks what will make people happy since no politician can do it for them.
- Political change isn't up to the president—it's up to individuals to do something they like with their own lives.
