Yeah that's what the QAnon/MAGA cultists all seem to be telling themselves at the moment. "The storm is coming, wait and see, you'll love how this ends. God's plan cannot be stopped!" "Files on Pelosi's laptop incriminate the globalist communist pedophile cabal, the pope has been arrested, Trump is in Texas right now meeting with the heads of the military, there will be martial law and military tribunals and the democrats will be all executed for treason, all this happening in the next few days, be ready." "Biden will never be president, looking forward to 4 more years of Trump our saviour." In 9 days when Trump is no longer president, and there is no great unmasking of this mythical NWO pedophile vampire illuminati, the fragile fantasy they've built is going to come crashing down for a lot of these people. |
That's not how conspiracies work. If a prediction fails, that is never taken as a moment of reflection, instead it is turned around as undeniable proof that everything they heard is truth and that's why the dark forces they are fighting have interfered with the plan.

The reason people believe in conspiracies is not to uncover truth, all they want is peace of mind in a complex world where they cannot cope. So they are literally mentally incapable of accepting anything that proves their simplistic world view is more complex. That's why it doesn't matter what the conspiracy is about. All that matters is that there is some big entity that has a plan and is doing everything for you so you don't have to think.
Why do you think religions are still around after millennia?

In a hypothetical world, yes. But we live in reality, so such a hypothetical scenario is not happening.
We don't even have to think hard about this scenario because we have China and any European country as a perfect example of what would happen.
If it happened in a democratic country we wouldn't even get to a riot because if there was undeniable truth the courts would've already dealt with it.
If it happened in China or any other dictatorship we wouldn't even get to a riot because the courts would've already dealt with any accusers of such a thing.
We even have a clear answer what would happen in a hypothetical world, like the dream world Trump supporters live in. There you can see that people would definitely support a riot if there was undeniable proof, because they honestly believe they have proof.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
