Its a good example of mass delusion, if nothing else. I was raised in a hardline christian cult and understand how people get indoctrinated into some crazy ideas. I also know what it's like to have that delusion ripped away. Once they see the truth and the damage their support has caused to their own future and their children's future, if they ever do come back to reality, it's going to be a hard pill for Trump supporters to swallow. I've been there, learning you were fooled and dealing with it is a rough ride that I wouldn't wish on anyone, even someone gullible enough to support the Pied Piper, aka Donald Trump.
I don't see how they can have the delusion removed from them. I think that they're an obstacle that we need to overcome, and it's going to be years or decades after this nightmare before they can start to unprogramme themselves.
Proof of an actual crime might make a difference
Reminds me of Mitch McConnell refusing to read the testimony that contains the proof.
McConnell: "Show me the proof"
Also McConnell: "I refuse to read the proof because it can't be true"
I remember reading one time that being too skeptical is literally the same thing as being naive.
