Higher education policy specialist and advocate. I work for California Community Colleges but this is my personal account.

so much of what this administration is doing is based on creating the perception that he is inevitable and unstoppable and it’s not true and he can lose and it’s important that people see that because the only way he does win is if everyone gives up

Honestly, I think he *does* understand that - it’s just that he thinks the way for liberals to win back power will be thru traditional methods, and if we don’t, it’s because oopsie authoritarianism was just more popular and liberals should accept that + change if we ever want to win again.
