You can see it coming. They are going to go into a deep depression when reality hits them in the face like a baseball bat. Their God is going down.

After several uncomfortable hours on the appointed day, Martin received a message saying that the group had spread so much light that God had saved the world from destruction. The group responded by proselytizing with a renewed vigour. According to Festinger, they resolved the intense conflict between reality and prophecy by seeking safety in numbers. If more people can be persuaded that the system of belief is correct, then clearly, it must, after all, be correct.

Scoop: Federal prosecutors likely to wait until after Nov election to announce any action against Trump, if they determine he broke any laws, sources tell @cstrohm. Under DOJ policy, no investigative steps 60 days before election. This year, that's Sept. 10.

(7,082 posts)I'm also hoping that we've reached a key demographic transition, where enough young progressives born post-1985 have aged into regular voting (especially now, post-Dobbs) and enough lifelong Silent Generation Republicans have died so that the ascendance of another Trump-like figure is impossible.

(601 posts)They have already decided that Trump was set up by the evil, unAmerican FBI, and besides, he had every right to those Top Secret documents. And he is still President, so why shouldn't he have access to them? Trump could eat a live baby on live TV and Trump Humpers would find a way to cheer him for it. So don't hold your breath waiting for ANYTHING to drive a wedge between Trump and his white supremacist base.
