I just can't bear to face it. The treason brigade is getting obvious, and it's depressing.
So have a brief intermission.
In 1956, Leon Festinger wrote a book called When Prophecy Fails. Basically, Festinger followed a UFO doomsday cult around until the day when the end of the world was supposed to come, and then followed them around after it failed to occur.
What would happen when it became obvious that they were wrong? Would they simply go back to their jobs and families? Sadly, no. They actually became more vocal in their beliefs and sought out media attention that they had shunned before.
The treason brigade certainly never shunned media attention, but they do seem to be getting much more vocal as their cases keep getting denied. I don't know what the endgame for the cult was, but I think we can expect something very similar with the treasoners.
