There are competing sociological theories/studies about what happens "When Prophecy Fails"—not a tiny number of people were expecting Trump to declare martial law and arrest the "globalist" cabal, like, today. Adjust, double-down, rationalize, declare we were undeserving?
Given this isn't a tiny group, I suspect, as these things usually go, we'll see all of the above but not sure which one will emerge as dominant, if any. Curse the pandemic, also, as a lot of good books won't get written—online only takes you only so far with these things.
Like the Bannon pardon. It's led to "Bannon scammed friends of mine" folks arguing now with "how dare you believe the NY deep state globalist attorneys" people. I guess we'll get accounts from family members how this evolves but I want to read that ethnography!
