Former President Donald Trump’s supporters say they hold him as a source of true information over their family, friends, and religious leaders, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll out on Sunday.

        I learned what cults were from the 6 years of religious school I went to. According to literal classes I took on cults, Trumpism is a cult.

        I didn’t learn about Jonestown from the government. You’re staying to sound a bit like a cultist yourself.

        If there’s insufficient evidence of your theory, in both quantity and quality, then it isn’t rational to believe it.

          Ditto. If the source of your information is the sworn enemy of all competing cultures, you have no information

            For anyone following along, this is 100% what propaganda tries to do. Tells you not to trust anyone but them, tells you everyone but them lies. This is classic state actor behavior.

              I didn’t tell anybody to trust me. I’m telling you to question your own cult of authority. If you think the US is any different than any other cult, it’s because you’re brainwashed.
