A political psychologist once flippantly summarized an important difference between right and left wing extremists by saying the right's hate everyone else, while the left's hate themselves.
You're absolutely right that Moore acts like he doesn't want Democrats to win, because he's at best conflicted and resentful and at worst doesn't. For years he's been sabotaging everything he claims to believe in by trying to undermine support for Democrats. The night before the 2018 midterms, he opened his pretend GOTV talk to young late night comedy viewers by "agreeing" they had nothing good to vote for. And no, President Obama did NOT tell Flint parents to give their children poisoned water.
And this! His warning that Democrats wouldn't camp out for five days in the heat in the middle of a killer pandemic to see Joe Biden, as if that were a bad thing about him.
It's about US, and hell no we wouldn't! Democrats and left indies marched in over 700 communities after George Floyd's murder for a purpose and ideals of equality, not for Our Leader. We also wouldn't still be screaming to kidnap and imprison Our Leader's opponent five years after we started, and four long years after it couldn't matter except to fulfill our blood lust and whet it for more.
