Maybe I am being paranoid, but what are the chances of either a "slow moving coup" as Bill Maher puts it, or a secondary "alternative government" being established after inauguration day?
If people are so easily pulled into "alternative facts" (especially things as ridiculous as Q-Annon), it seems like accepting an "alternative government" falls well within their wheelhouse. They have their own wikipedia, their own news media, their own interpretation of history, even their own science (young Earth/flat earth, etc.). It seems like following the pattern of believing whatever is most desirable or what they wish to be true will just get worse and worse. There seems to be no way to break into the bubble, but there has to be for all our well-being.
I know people I care about who are in the bubble, and it feels scary for two reasons, 1) it feels like (as many have mentioned) like they've been pulled into a cult and there is no reasoning with them (they are operating out of
truthiness and instinct) 2) Their cult has a lot of similarities to Nazis with their white supremacy(even among those who aren't white), authoritarian values (placing one-way loyalty to their "king" above global harm, concern for purity, nostalgia for a more privileged past...), and desire to thwart the will of a majority of people in their nation by any means possible.
So how do we pull people out of a cult like this? How can we bring them to working off a common belief of what really occurred and occurs in the world as we know it, and common understanding of truth and reality?
