You know when you are in a cult when . . .
Your leader tells you 'outsiders' can't be trusted, and need to be 'punished'.
(Trump imposing tariffs, heading for isolationism.)
You send out envoys to other countries explaining only you have the 'good stuff' to protect against unspecified evil influences in the world.
(Talking to Greenland, Canada.)
Things are bad now, but that is only because you are correcting 'mistakes' from the past, and things will get so much better soon, believe me!
(Trump on the stock markets crashing.)
Mineons accept the leadership words mindlessly. And follow the 'program'.
(Trump's inner circle, R voters.)
Leadership talks on not-real abstract things that contradict what you see happening around you.
(Eggs cheap yet?)
People speaking out against the cult will be ridiculed, silenced, restricted any way possible, and this doesn't exclude sanctioned violence from cult members.
The cult hinges on a single individual, without whom the whole cult disintegrates.
People outside the cult do a WTF gesture many times every day.
Now a simple question - how is the cult of Trump any different to the cults of Jim Jones, David Koresh, or Charles Manson of 'helter-skelter' fame?
Unfortunately, if you don't recognise the current cultism for what it is, you are probably part of it.
