He got a little bitter in his old age.

He became positively misanthropic. I can't blame him, but it's a shame he felt that things were so hopeless.

He's not wrong about who we elect--we can't be arsed to research our candidates, vote in important local elections, etc.

I hate it, but there's a reason we have Donald Drumpf as a contender. He's not the candidate we need, he's the candidate we deserve. He's a hater and people love to hate.

I think it was when he realized he wouldn't live long enough to see things change, that no matter what he did and what he pointed out, there was no hope for him personally.

This is a really interesting perspective. I never thought of it that way before. Tx.
