4. Cults program people to take crazy stands that in the end are self-defeating for the cult members.

My thought is that membership "legitimizes" some favorite illicit behavior that lures them in, and all the talking points are just to cohere them in the cult by smearing "outsiders".

So for the GQP, it's their old buddies racism, anti-semitism, grievance and hate for the most part. Deal with the devil brought in those religious cranks.

For the mob, it's stealing and killing. All "rationalized".

But looking from the outside, those positions against various freedoms ultimately hurts many members. It's how they're manipulated to serve their masters.
