(81,555 posts)Its that old self-preservation instinct in many people: NOBODY wants to admit they were wrong, much less that theyve been willingly and royally HAD.
Sadly enough, I expect therell be many who will go down with the ship insisting their reality was the actual reality. That they were right to begin with and the REAL savior is trump and hes arrived to save his true-believer supporters and wreak vengeance upon all the doubters and deniers and non-believers and non-supporters (that they themselves despise).
Theyre heavily invested in this, ever since they discovered a big booming orange mouth sales-pitching the exact thoughts they held close and dear, but hadnt ever had validated because this salesman was shilling lies and more lies and more lies. Unfortunately all hes done is reinforce and exploit their resentments and yearnings in the face of the facts that just dont fit or reinforce their cockamamie worldview.
Seems to me, anyway, after a long time spent observing that bunch.
