A fantastic account of an unusual cult- educated people- that falls in to the same behavior as any other cult.

From @wordswithsteph 🧵 on 🦋:
Tulsi Gabbard is being described as an “advanced devotee” of a shady religious sect in Hawaii. According to a former Science of Identity Foundation (SIF) member, Gabbard has been groomed by the cult’s guru to rise to D.C.’s elite in the halls of government.

Many #Trumpsupporters claim to be #Christian #Nationalists, but a lot of them have no idea how bad things are about to get.

I love old books, especially when they're free online due to expired copyright! First published in 1841, Charles Mackay's Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds is as relevant today as it was 183 years ago.
It inspired the economist John Maynard Keynes, who argued in The General Theory of Employment (1936) that markets are not always rational, but instead are moved by "animal spirits".

We really need a rhetorical "off-ramp" for Trump supporters that lets them ditch Trump without feeling like they were a giant fool for ever supporting him in the first place.
Yes, we all know they are fools, but if we can allow them to get out of the MAGA cult without _feeling_ like a fool, they're going to be more likely to choose that route as Trump continues to melt down.
Ridicule just makes them defensive, digging in their heels even deeper. #politics #trump #maga #cults

The Chinese Internet Security Department (CISD) announced detaining an “Internet celebrity” for practicing witchcraft, marking possibly the first prosecution under China’s revised penal code against “cults.”
