Which Stage of Grief is the cult and its media in?

I’m using the 5 stages


Denial (let’s throw in Shock & Anger from the 7) ITS NOT REAL! You are being lied to!

Anger - It’s WHO’s fault!

Bargaining - look if it’s less than 2 Million it’s really not so bad.

Depression

Acceptance

Is that correct or am I mixing them up?
For the cult, acceptance will probably come in the form of “Let’s accept that HE saved us”

It is not a linear process. I believe they have always lived in that foggy, gray area between denial & anger.

They also want to express anger at Trump but keep pulling back, trying to "negotiate" reality (i.e. "is this really as bad as it looks" and "won't he come to his senses?&quot

False comparisons are their stock in trade.

Everything - everything this ogre has said has been dis-proven.
It's all been one huge con job and that is simply undeniable by anyone who still has a functioning brain.

They stand without their clothes, like their demented emperor.

The best people? Clearly the worst, most incompetent administration of our lifetime.

Make America great? Our international reputation has never been lower and our own domestic situation is chaos. Our country is perhaps irreparably divided now.

A stable genius? That one is not even worth commenting on. The #IPOTUS has revealed his ignorance, stupidity, and vindictive impulsiveness everyday he has disgraced our country while in office.

It's time to start calling them out. Forget about being nice. These people, his cultists, have attacked our country with their bigotry, their half-baked, flawed "ideology", and their hatred of those whom know that they are simpletons - or deplorables as Hillary nailed it.

Enough.
