It really isn't all that different from a cult. What they need is deprogramming. Not sure how that would work on a country-wide scale though.

Deprogramming will be extremely difficult. Even fact-checkers won't help (they'll say that fact-checkers are liberally biased, same with Wikipedia and Google).

If deprogramming of a sort *were* possible, it'd require a reality-jolting "full stop event", possibly along the lines of mass suicide--something akin to the Holocaust relative to WWII. (Not that there haven't continued to be Holocaust deniers, of course)

Given how he's set things up, one wonders how his followers will handle him "caving". Of course, they might simply grouse about a rigged/stolen election into infinity. Sort of like how not *all* angry divorced dads "take action", but just wind up grousing about their ex into infinity...

There are those who refuse to believe it is real even after catching it and dying of it themselves:
Are South Dakotans Denying COVID Is Real to Their Dying Breaths?
“By the time we’re in a position where we’re putting them on a ventilator, we’re past the point where you question it.”
Also, a variant of what you have mentioned, from the same article:

It’s amazing. Same thing has happened to me when I said people I know have died. The denial is strong.
