The Cult of Trump

The idea that Trump supporters are members of a cult is not a new one, but let’s examine exactly what this means.

The word “cult” denotes a group whose members have lost their capacity to think for themselves, and who have become slaves to a black-and-white reality in which the leader’s ideas are always right, regardless of evidence to the contrary, and those who reject him are fools, or, more commonly, representatives of evil.

The author of four books on the subject who is interviewed in the video below is an expert in this space.  I use the word “expert” carefully, but who could be more qualified?  He was a Jewish kid who, in 1974, bought into the cult of Sun Myung Moon whose message, among others, is the Holocaust was required to rid the Earth’s population of Jewish vermin.  He eventually realized that he’d been conned.

Best of luck to the totally socked-in Trump supporters.  May they be granted the luxury of self-inspection.
