Cults crumble when cult members are distanced from one another & given a path back to reality. The problem that concerns me most is that social media is keeping these folks together in a virtual “house” that follows them wherever they go. 1/

1. Helpful

Keep it coming. We've got our work cut out for us!

2. The Trump "media platform" is what they will use to attempt to keep

followers in line. But the Trump Magic might wear off when he is stripped of power.

Pre-internet, cult leaders had to physically separate followers from larger society and family members, and convince them not to contact non-believers, but the internet and outlets like Fox News, Infowars, OAN and Newsmax have changed that somewhat.

3. I thought the headline said "bath"

and was hoping that a good scrubbing (including the mouth) with strong soap would clean up these idiots.

4. When the cult leader is gone or defeated, does the cult continue?

When Trump is finally out of the White House he will certainly do his best to stay in the limelight, and he'll probably succeed for awhile. But without the power and the almost unlimited ability to command media attention that the presidency affords, will he eventually be perceived by the cult members as weakened; and if so, will they gradually drift away when remaining in the cult seems increasingly pointless?

6. Also, I think if you can make even a tiny chink

In their cult armor, I think that's all you need to start the unraveling.

For example, the meeting Biden had with the R governors the other day. 5 Rs (and Ds). If one can get that tiniest headway, then they will see how effed up the cult is, and how what Joe and K have to offer is lifesaving, brilliant, and so, so good!!
