Never Underestimate the Ability of Fanatics to Reimagine Reality

7/14/25 Telegraph reports on a movement thst makes election-deniers seem reasonable:

" But all might not be as it seems. According to a growing number of spiritually-inclined Democrat supporters, 4am on Nov 6 2024 is the moment the universe “split”, leaving us on an alternate timeline where Mr Trump is president.

"In reality, they claim, Ms Harris was installed in the White House, and it is only a matter of time before we all collectively realise our mistake and jump back to the “correct” timeline.

'Psephologists may cast doubt, but for thousands of self-described witches and mystics on TikTok, the evidence is incontrovertible."

Democrats are having trouble figuring out why they lost the election.   This will not make it any easier.

When a movement goes beyond insisting the election was rigged to insisting that our timeline was split and they just to persuade us they are right, the QAnon conspiracy theories seem positively sane.  BlueQAnon, indeed.

Keep telling yourselves this a timeline split, one that does need a time machine to fix.  The alternative would be asking how you blew it against a person with extraordinary personal negatives and the most extraordinary campaign of lawfare in American political history. 

UPDATE: My son-in-law calls this "denial mixed with marijuana. "
