People become emotionally attached to the idea that they were right, that they were never wrong, and as a consequence they double down.
So if the Lord doesn’t return you can bet that on the Left the only darkness they’ll see is that any real sanity resisting the current madness still persisted.
I can easily believe that in 20 years the Gaystapo and sexual identity madness crowd will have moved on from just browbeating people to beating them and then requiring people to engage in perverted deeds with them ... or else.
I see that too and it destroys all ability to reason. A good example is the global warming baloney. Even as our winters get longer, colder and snowier, the global warming crowd are doubling down and even trying to insinuate that the colder weather is a result of global warming!
I am convinced that I will never convince them otherwise. Even as most of New England is buried in snow a week before Thanksgiving where before, it typically did not snow in earnest until after Christmas.
Sounds similar to this:
"The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him."--Rev. 16:8-9
