The Covington School MAGA-hat-wearing kids are CULT members. THAT is what people must understand.

That MAGA-hat-wearing smirking Covington School kid is a cult member, along with ALL of the MAGA-hat-wearers. This is what everyone needs to understand about these people who go so far as wear as to wear the MAGA hats and t-shirts. They are members of the Trump CULT. The Covington kids were supposed to be in D.C. for a "pro-life" demonstration. As one priest said so well, intead they "swerved out of their lane" by wearing the hats, confronting the other people there for other reasons (like the Native American Elder), and their so-called "chaperones" did NOTHING about it. The hat-wearers are CULTISTS, completely enthrawled and loyal to Trump and willing to abandon anything and everything else for their leader and what he stands for, in this case that being sheer racism. Trying to talk and reason with these cultists is most likely futile. You beat them by organizing very well politically and flooding the polls this year and especially next year and taking down their cult leader and his GOP minions at the voting booth.

While I don't agree with everything Chris Hedges says, believes, or does, most of what he says about the Trumpists being cultists and Trump being a cult leader in this video is spot on. And a lot of what he says about the underlying causes of how Trump was able to emerge as a cult leader who could win the American presidency also make a lot of sense.

the Trump Cult. He is also right about our decades-long econonomic and cultural decay exacerbated by vast income inequality through government bought off by corporatism that laid the foundations for Trump to emerge as a cult leader who could ascend to the presidency. I DO NOT agree entirely with his proposed cure for it being mainly grassroots resistance movements. These are often fractured, competing, and people are not in it for the long haul. He continues to tout the Occupy "movement" which was an abject FAILURE that FAILED MISERABLY in organizing in any coherent way for the long haul akin to Women's Suffrage, Civil Rights, Abolition, Labor, etc. You have to organize POLITICALLY, and I also do not agree with him at all in his large criticisms of the Dem Party (though to be fair there are SOME fair criticisms of the Dems, but they are now doing better).
