Understanding Cult45 Thread 1/

This is part 2 in my series on Trump #Cult45 supporters, the maganutters, and how Trump has used them to take over the Republican party

This thread examines what is a cult & does Trump support fit the dictionary definition of a cult
(Spoiler: Yes)
Understanding Cult45 Thread 2/

This is part 2 in a SERIES of threads. I wrote part 1 to set this up. I am assuming you have read part 1. Please read it now, if you have not:

I try to respond to all who ask questions. If you ask a question that illustrates, you did not read Part 1, I will not be answering you. I will simply block you. I will not waste the time of my followers with morons who can't be bothered to read
Understanding Cult45 Thread 4/

(I trust you have now read my Intro thread).

Let's discuss Trump Cult45. Sociologists identify several TYPES of cults, including religious cults. Let us go now to the WORST type of cult, DESTRUCTIVE cults, and their worst form: Terrorist cults
Understanding Cult45 Thread 5/

You remember Osama Bin Laden? The Times wrote Al-Qaida fits the classic definition of a cult.

"It forms a closed, totalitarian society; it has a self-appointed, messianic and charismatic leader; and it believes that the ends justify the means."
Understanding Cult45 Thread 6/

We have no problem recognizing that Osama Bin Laden led a clear terrorist cult, around his messianic persona, in a totalitarian society, using TERRORISM as his means, to justify his desired goals. This is textbook destructive cult, a terrorist cult
Understanding Cult45 Thread 7/

I think you know where I am going with this. Take the SAME definition

"It forms a closed, totalitarian society; it has a self-appointed, messianic and charismatic leader; and it believes that the ends justify the means."

Add Maga. Add Trump
Understanding Cult45 Thread 8/

Trump wants a CLOSED society. Get rid of the brown & black & yellow & red people. He wants a TOTALITARIAN society where there is no freedom of the press, & where judges cannot impose rules over Trump

And look at Jan 6: The end justifies the means
Understanding Cult45 Thread 9/

It is not HYPE to say, core Trump supporters are inside a cult. Now let us dig a bit deeper. What is a destructive cult? It is led by a leader who is a sociopath. Destructive cults are highly manipulative that EXPLOIT their members
Understanding Cult45 Thread 10/

From book Cults And Family:

"behavioral and personality changes, loss of personal identity, cessation of scholastic activities, estrangement from family, disinterest in society and pronounced mental control and enslavement by cult leaders."
Understanding Cult45 Thread 10/

That book was written in 1982 !!! THIRTY years before Trump. But look at Cult45 today:

"behavioral and personality changes" - we ALL know elderly relatives or friends who experienced this in past 5 years
Understanding Cult45 Thread 11/

"loss of personal identity, cessation of scholastic activities, estrangement from family" - this is MAGAmadness, perfectly described

It is SAD to see a sociological mental condition, so perfectly described, witnessing someone you know, fitting it
Understanding Cult45 Thread 12/

"disinterest in society and pronounced mental control and enslavement by cult leaders."

This is the saddest part. Let them die of Covid. Who caress about NATO. Let's embrace Putin and love Kim Jong Un. ANTI-social behavior becomes preferred way
Understanding Cult45 Thread 13/

It is not HYPE to say, the core Trump supporter has fallen into a cult. ALL FACTS support it. NO FACTS say otherwise.

We can see it CLEARLY

And worse, we can clearly see, Trump is EXPLOITING this cult
Understanding Cult45 Thread 14/

Which takes us to the tragedy of #Cult45. Anyone INSIDE a cult cannot see reality anymore. They have LOST their ability to find the truth. EVEN when the messianic madman leading his cult says things OPPOSITE of what HE SAID BEFORE. It won't matter
Understanding Cult45 Thread 15/

Understand this VITAL point. Anyone INSIDE Cult45 CANNOT comprehend reality. It means, you cannot REASON with them. It is as pointless as attempting to reason with your goldfish. These people need an INTERVENTION and MENTAL rehab. Literally
Understanding Cult45 Thread 16/

Understand that anyone can fall into a cult. It is not only for the feeble-minded or gullible

But it is FAR easier to dupe the feeble-minded & the gullible

And it is EASIER to dupe LESS educated people, & those taught to obey without questioning
Understanding Cult45 Thread 17/

The EASY identifying branding of #Cult45 today is the Magahat or maga branding. It will eventually be known as the 'I was gullible and stupid' hat. And eventually people will erase those photos from their lives when they discover this was a scam
Understanding Cult45 Thread 18/

We can recognize reality. We KNOW Trump is not going to be reinstated in August. There was no voter fraud in November

But Trump is playing a con aimed at his gullible cult. They are the victims. They will need to be repaired at some point
Understanding Cult45 Thread 19/

It is not hype to say Trump core supporters are inside cult. They can no longer discover reality

You cannot REASON with a cultist. They LITERALLY need mental help

And currently Trump is EXPLOITING that cult to his own selfish ends
I have now added part 3 to this series of threads. This gets to the origins of the Cult and how Trump is involved

GAG ORDER THREAD

On Monday Judge Chutkan in DC (Jack Smith 2) case will hold a hearing about putting a gag order on Herr Hezbollah, the nation's Terrorist-In-Chief. Trump was under protective order. He breached it many times. So this is now his 'final warning'

Let's do a Thread Image
GAG ORDER THREAD/2

Don't look at me like that! This is JUSTICE. It is EXACTLY the same legal standard that would apply to you and me. Nothing more, nothing less. Trump is a FIRST TIME OFFENDER; has NEVER been convicted of any crime (yet). He was put on a 'protective order' FIRST Image
GAG ORDER THREAD/3

Then Trump repeatedly broke that protective order. We WITNESSED IT LIVE on TV and on social media, REPEATEDLY

But the Judge CANNOT do anything about it. Until she is FORMALLY told by the prosecution. She CANNOT do anything yet. It would be same for you and me Image

Justice IS COMING

We certainly feel it was taking too long. In reality this is about par for the course, in some ways FASTER than normal, for such a large criminal conspiracy. Timing is similar to Watergate

FIRST of PLANNERS of Jan 6 go to trial, in Georgia in two weeks !!!
Image
So January 6th, 2021 was two years and 9 months ago. Over 1,000 of the violent mob have been caught, over half prosecuted, and prison sentences for those running up to more than a decade in prison. That is justice

The ORGANIZERS of the Jan 6th plot are Trump, the Seditious Six.. Image
The ORGANIZERS of Jan 6 are
Trump
Seditious Six (Giuliani, Flynn etc)
Evil Eleven of Congress (Gosar, Gym, Gaetz etc)
and a handful others (Roger Stone, Bannon etc)
They are ALL CAUGHT

Jack Smith STARTED to prosecute the organizers. Look who he has as WITNESSES to this crime Image

Trump calls Hezbollah "very smart" for their terrorist attack? Same Senile Man called Putin smart for invading Ukraine. And called murdering dictators MBS and Kim Jong Un smart

Meanwhile Trump has called HIS OWN CABINET and HIS OWN GENERALS idiots & stupid

Ok, Trumpo, I'm game
Let's get Trump opinions by HIS OWN Generals:

General Mattis: Trump's not mature, a 5th grader
General McMaster: he's a dope, kindergartner idiot
Colonel Esper: irresponsible
General Milley: crazy
General Hytin: an idiot
General Kelly: Trump's crazy, an unhinged idiot

Next... Image
Then let's ask Trump White House staff, people Trump selected:

VP Pence: Trump is reckless
CoS 1 Priebus: he's an idiot
CoS 2 (Kelly, in above)
CoS 3 Mulvaney: terrible human being, a clown show
CoS 4 Meadows: Trump is worthless
SoS Tillerson: he's a fucking moron

and more... Image

New York New York Thread /1

Trump was massively embarrassed in New York, and that trial still continues. But this incident (Trump sitting in NY court for 3 days and then bailed) exposes insight into how incredibly stupid, and self-destructive Trump is

Let's do a Thread Image
New York New York Thread /2

So what happened? Trump sat in the civil trial - he is NOT required to be there (he must attend all criminal trials which start in March 2024). He feuded with the judge, got hit with a gag order, then stormed out of New York. Let's see how dumb it was Image
New York New York Thread /3

Donald the Duck McTrump's whole brand is based on the carefully constructed fake illusion, that he is somehow a 'billionaire'. WE know he is not. That Trump is a fake, a con-artist, living on other people's money. But his SUPPORTERS believe that lie Image

What happens next? The House cannot conduct any other business until it has selected a new House Speaker. The GOP is in civil war. It may be chaos for a while. Most likely they find a suitable Republican Speaker

DEMs do not have votes for DEM Speaker

BUT DEMs could make a deal Image
If a slice of Republicans (as few as 6) ally with DEMs, then that alliance could select (a Republican) speaker

Realistically the most logical such choice is an EX House Republican, like Liz Cheney

Because of GOP civil war, DEMs have leverage now Image
This is the deal I suggest:

DEMs make deal for ANY Republican who they can trust (like Liz Cheney, Kinzinger) where promise is 2 House Votes every week. One vote on legislation provided by GOP, the other vote legislation provided by DEMs. Both will get a floor vote each week Image

Flipper Thread/1

With Friday's bombshell news in court filing by Jack Smith of 3 more prosecution witnesses - now just about as big as they come - let's do a Thread about the flippers in Trump's life, the rats who all testify under oath, in criminal courts, against Trump Image
Flipper Thread/2

Trump committed an act of insurgency against America. That word is rarely used. The legal EFFECT is the same as 'treason'. Trump committed a crime which is essentially as bad as treason

So who does Jack Smith have as a witness? Trump's OWN Attorney General Barr Image
Flipper Thread/3

Bill Barr was not just the nation's top lawyer, as Attorney General, when this plot was first hatched - Barr learned of the idea - and TOLD TRUMP IT IS ILLEGAL. That is what Barr will testify under oath. That Trump KNEW this plot is illegal

But it gets worse Image
