12. These people remind me of the end-times cult that predicts a date when the world will end.

When that date comes and goes, they just choose another date and move on. The question of why they continue to believe in something that never happens is interesting in terms of the inability of their minds to process factual data (the world didn’t end) with a belief system that promises the world will end on another date in the future. These are the Trump cult, waiting for him to be president again.

I contrast that with the majority of us who do not live our lives waiting for some mythical event to happen or some made-up god to take control and make everything perfect. I believe theirs is a form of mental illness. No one would do a study like this, but it would be interesting to know the IQs of the woman who believes that Biden’s inauguration was fake and her fellow rally attendees who follow Trump around the country. I’m guessing they would be on the low side, but who knows!

In any event, they are a minority. The sad thing is that they vote.
