Cult experts warn that Trumpism has become a death cult akin to Jim Jones. Attended a meeting this afternoon, with mental health professional and cult expert, Steven Hassan who wrote the book, "The Cult of Trump.
The cult of trump, how he got to the WH, the problem of systemic racism, and perhaps the end of America will be analyzed and keep many busy for years to come.
I have a twin sister who voted for trump, thinks the gop party is great and finally, yes, believes in God. Only recently has she begun to question whether trump is a problem. Her news sources are fox and oann.
I distanced myself from family when I was 20. It's not easy to watch people try to defend the horrible.
Perhaps he really is the Christ and he is going to take those who support him for the Rapture. Yea cheeto!
Antichrist, please
@Philip21 Sorry, I get stuff wrong every once in a while.
It's a little dated, April 16th in this fast moving news cycle driven world. But lots of interesting parallels.
Saw Steven Hassan today speak in Aetheist Meetup from NYC just today. He's mentioned in article. Fascinating speaker.
With any luck, they will come to the same end.
@David1955 Unless he can make money off of them he doesn't care about those yahoos. He is going to have his hands full with legal problems from 3 or 4 directions and his businesses are not doing well. They only served his purpose as voters. Other than that he doesn't need them. He doesn't like the job, so wants he is out of it I don't think he will have any interest in politics.
@David1955 trump does not exist in a vaccum - he got into the WH with help and while many of his supporters-his base-have no positions of power trump has many people in pwer that are taking full advantage of this crisis.
I always gathered that Evangelicals are an apocalyptic death-cult.
And since Covid-19 and Black Lives Matter police brutality, it has become painfully obvious that trumpism is also a death-cult.
Yeah, that's the problem with white Evangelicals, they WANT the end of the world. Pence isn't as stupid and crazy as his boss, but he definitely wet dreams of the apocalypse. All those nasty non-Christians and brown people get tortured forever by his loving god, and he gets to go to some celestial mall or something and just eat mayonnaise and listen to light jazz forever!
@Observer-Effect
Eat mayonnaise? Ew!
I do get the innuendo.
"Livin' in your white bread world"! Song lyrics from somebody I can't remember.
