Feeling quite compassionate for the people who apparently have been going through hell, psychologically, during the past 4 years. They've been dragged from one mass delusion to another, with their emotional states being played like a fiddle by the media. Scary stuff.
By the beginning of Trump's term, they believed Trump won in 2016 due to Russia collusion, by the end, they believed the U.S. was on the brink of becoming a fascist dictatorship. Both beliefs, and many more in-between, have been refuted by the facts.
In retrospect, why don't they realize that? I suppose because they're getting a big reward now from the current mass delusion that they've prevailed over the forces of evil. If the happy ending to a story is that you've slain Darth Vader, you'll like that ending.
To some extent, Trump supporters or Republicans in general have underwent the same during the Obama years and around the Trump win. What are the lessons here? Mass delusions are happening all the time to nearly everyone. And for mental health, really turn off the news sometimes.
