My uncle's Trump prediction at Thanksgiving 2020 was dead wrong

Back in November 2020, my uncle Bob in Phoenix kept saying Trump would win Arizona because of all the 'silent majority' folks he knew. I actually believed him for a bit, he was so sure about it. Then the AP called the state for Biden around 2 AM and I texted Bob the news, he just replied 'fake news' and went quiet. Four years later, I still think about how confident he was versus how the votes actually came in. Has anyone else had a relative give them a political read that turned out totally backwards?

Did Bob ever come around after the votes were all counted, or is he still saying it was stolen? I'm curious how long people hold onto that stuff when the results are right there. My dad did something similar in 2016 but flipped the other way, swore up and down his guy would lose and then acted like he knew all along
