False hope. Come election time Republicans will rally around some insane thing like “Democrats are eating babies” and they’ll pull the lever for whoever has an R by their name. Even non-crazy people will tell themselves some half-baked story that starts with “Well, I don’t like Trump but…” and do the same thing.

As a nearly 100% Debian user, I’d recommend trying a distro with more up to date packages/kernel like Fedora or even Bazzite before giving up.
