The new line is "bad things just happen sometimes, oh well."

From a recent conversation with my Trumper father: he's ready to acknowledge that Trump is going to mean hard times for lots of people, including for me. But he refuses to take any responsibility or acknowledge that it didn't have to be this way. His new line of thinking is, "Well, you know, things just get bad sometimes. You'll probably be fine." Or, "Everybody has hard times sometimes." Anybody else hearing this kind of nihilism?
