Things have changed since the coronavirus came to town. It is like something out of a sci-fi thriller, with happenings that are hard to peg and responses even harder to peg. It definitely shows how individuals who hold certain views can dig their heels in even further when things don't go their way--very much like what is talked about in the book,
When Prophecy Fails, writter by Leon Festinger and others.
It can no doubt happen to most anyone, no matter their political, religious, or societal affiliations. When I was younger I probably fit in that category.
It's hard at the time to see it in yourself. And pointing it out to the person, usually, is to no avail. You just produce a better martyr.
