Some of the wrecker's supporters are having conniptions watching the talk where he condemned them for the violence he urged them to commit.

I can understand that they feel whipsawed by the contradiction between the two things he said. What is interesting is that they cling to his earlier persistent incitement to violence and reject his later denunciation of it.

Long ago I read a book of anthropology describing the events in a small prophetic cult in the US (1950s) whose central prophecy specified a date. Naturally it failed to occur. Some of the participants rejected the cult after that, but others redefined the prophecy so it could happen at a later date. (If you know the book's title, please tell me.)

I expect that some of Trump's cultists will redefine the cult to shift it away from him, rather than reject it.
