In the words of Chesty Puller at the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir:
Staff Officer: "Sir, the Chinese have us surrounded."
Chesty: "Good, now we can attack in any direction we want."
He did exactly that, and successfully extricated entire Marine units safely out of North Korea, by attacking through his retreat. Even in defeat, demoralization is not acceptable.
I'll be honest, it's hard for me to get excited about any of this because I know they'll kill him before they let him back into the white house.
Probably not. They'd probably just undermine him more.
Besides, that's also a very black-pilling and demoralizing attitude to take. Demoralization is enemy action.
So I should delude myself?
Better to take the risk I guess rather than give into surrender without a fight. Just so long as you're betting on the right pony to start with.
I don't view it as surrendering. My actions would be the same whether I thought Trump could win or not.
Black-pilling is the delusion.
Some real "im14andthisisdeep" shit right here...
I agree, but that's a whole different thing.

They're not that stupid.
...okay, I'm hoping they're not that stupid. I'd rather not deal with civil war and/or troubles before I get some stuff taken care of.
