Promises, promises. In resume: After a while, true facts and bad decisions will hit over people in denial of science like an steamroller. Is slow, but unavoidable.
There is not worse problem for humans that to lost the touch with society. Her previous stance can't be milked anymore to win sympathy or power and is a negative trait now. We normally will try immediately to attract a new tribe and make a warm bubble that we can control.
The surprisingly common solution is to glue the broken pieces of the ruined ideological landscape with science, and then to pretend that the glue was there all the time.
Trying to negotiate (lets improve science with the right amount of pseudoscience!) or change the past (agriculture was developed by Jesus!; or Thanks Muhammad for the potatoes! if you prefer), is part of the mourning process. Could work or not (Try to raise a church to worship Zeus now). Is a busy road and there are plenty of competitors. Assimilation will comfort her for a while, until the next crack.
