      High Priestess Nerra Chelsea of Church of Hillatology (a post collapse cult in the ruins of the US Imperium's political capital of Washington D.C.) says all of humanity was doomed by Hillary Clinton's loss in the 2008 Democratic Primary to an obscure late Imperium figurehead named Barack Obama. None of the surviving primary sources, or subsequent histories of the era available provide any context that might shed light on this deeply held belief of the cult.

      While there have been attempts to rehabilitate and assimilate Hillatologists and members of other post-collapse cults, they largely seem to prefer the confines of the exclusion zone, violently fending off attempts to provide hunanitarian aid. They seem particularly violent and aggressive toward attempts by volunteer Cuban physicians to provide free healthcare. Their screams of "How are you going to pay for that?" confound volunteers, and perplex researches.

      "We may never understand the meaning behind their obscure beliefs and seemingly nonsensical chants." An authority on post-collapse cults told us. "Something has been lost."

      Yeesh, Americans are always trying to center themselves around everything...

      It was obviously when prince Harry and his trollup left the royal family.
