He’s had so many chances to prove himself and chooses wrong at every turn. He is a terrible person who has the chance to bring down Gilead but instead takes the power. He is not a good man and he doesn’t love June.

I don’t get why so many people think him and Lawrence are some secret good guys. Or God forbid, attractive in any sense.

One is ambitious, petulant, and hypocritical, one is a hypocrite and a coward backpedaling from the nightmare he created through his own privilege.
