No. I think it is more like “insane optimism”. Maybe “unrealistic optimism”.

Optimism in the sense that things will get better from a conservative viewpoint, in either case.

“DELUSIONAL optimism”. That’s the word I was looking for.

Please reconcile your post 209 with this one. Don’t believe that “optimism” was mentioned or implied. I want to understand your meaning.

Maybe so, but I have never met a optimistic Conservative who has decided to leave the GOP.

It is more like a sad resignation that has taken much thought and angst.
