Captive Of His Own Cult 1/

This thread is part of a series examining Trump's maga cult, #Cult45 and how it is destroying the GOP. This is the 5th Thread in the series. This examines Trump's role in the cult that bears his name.

Trump is held captive by his own cult.

As before, this Thread is part of a series. It builds on the previous set. You need to read these in sequence, else they do not make a lot of sense. The previous (Part 4) is here:

And as before, I will do my utmost to answer all questions. BUT I will not waste the TIME of my Tweeps. If you ask a question which had the ANSWER ALREADY in one of the previous 4 threads, I will NOT answer you. I will just block you. Without warning
Captive Of His Own Cult 4/

(I trust you've read the previous threads now)

Donald Trump? What's with this Cult45 that adores Trump? How come he isn't in charge? He is their idol, their Messiah? They love him.

I hear you. Let me give you an analogy
Captive Of His Own Cult 5/

Imagine an ABBA Tribute band. They sell a gig promising Abba music. They show up in Abba gear. But instead of Abba, they sing Elton John music instead. The paying audience would be furious.

Trump did not BUILD this cult. He did NOT KNOW THE LYRICS
Captive Of His Own Cult 6/

Trump was TRAINED by that Nazi Jew, Stephen Miller, to sing the magasongs. Trump never campaigned on his OWN political positions. He is for example PRO-CHOICE (for abortion rights). But maganutters are against abortion. The CANDIDATE Trump is an ACT
Captive Of His Own Cult 7/

The only aspect of Candidate Trump that is genuine, is his racism. He hates blacks. Everything else is an act and carricature of the bully and 'success'. Trump ran a con, he is an actor (and a bad one at that).

Cult45 fell in love with that act
Captive Of His Own Cult 8/

It is EXACTLY like an Abba tribute band. They cannot play THEIR OWN music. And they cannot play music of other bands. They HAVE to do Abba, and only Abba. No Kiss, no Stones, no Elvis, no Prince. Abba, Abba, Abba. Mamma Mia.
Captive Of His Own Cult 9/

Like an Abba tribute band, Trump's cult45 DEMANDS that he do his biggest hits. Lock Her Up. Hillary's Server. Build The Wall. Mexico Will Pay. Drain the Swamp. All Media Are Corrupt. Biggest Witch Hunt. Hunter Biden. And That Ramp Was Too Icy.
Captive Of His Own Cult 10/

If you doubt this, simple proof. His blog. Trump had 87 million followers on Twitter. Any moderately competent media person turns that into AT LEAST 20 million reading his blog. Trump got 2,000. UTTER TOTAL failure to 'sing the new song'.
Captive Of His Own Cult 11/

Blog? Maga don't read!

They want ANGRY TRUMP on Twitter (HAHAHAHAHAHA) or at least on the White House lawn, daily, ranting and raving at someone. Anyone

They don't want Abba Tribute band singing OTHER songs. They want the HITS
Captive Of His Own Cult 12/

Trump was WEAK at damaging Democrats even when he was on Twitter, his most powerful platform. Obama is MORE popular now than before Trump started. Speaker Pelosi, even AOC are fine. Trump could not damage DEMs

But Trump CAN destroy Republicans
Captive Of His Own Cult 13/

Look at Liz Cheney. Trump cannot vent his anger at DEMs, but he CAN damage Republicans.

And the maganutters WANT Trump to purify their party. Trump is IMPOTENT where it counts, but can harm HIS OWN SIDE. And Trump has kept an Enemies List
Captive Of His Own Cult 14/

If and when Trump joins to 'help' a GOP local candidate, a Congressperson or Senator - Trump won't stick to the BORING script they want. Instead, Trump hogs the microphone, and does a litany of his personal grievances.
Captive Of His Own Cult 15/

Whenever Trump riffs on one of his Hits, the maganutters react loudly, just egging Trump on to ignore his prepared remarks, and do his Greatest Hits. Pressure of tap water. Color from light bulbs. Windmill cancer... These help NOBODY win an election.
Captive Of His Own Cult 16/

But Trump's presence angers the never-Trumpers and frightens the IND voters, who will turn to vote against Trump's guy or gal in that election. Trump had a HORRID success rate when he endorsed someone in 2018 and 2020.

He was that toxic. BEFORE Jan 6
Captive Of His Own Cult 17/

Trump is thus held captive by his own cult.

Trump cannot control it. They do not follow Trump's lead except with ENORMOUS prep (like Jan 6). Trump cannot do NEW STUFF. Like an Abba tribute band, he has to do the Best Hits forever.
Captive Of His Own Cult 18/

Trump is a pathological narcissist. He is ADDICTED to the crowds. He CANNOT go without his rallies. Even during Covid, he held superspreader events, literally killing some of his supporters, just to get his fix for his addiction

(yes, Herman Cain)
Captive Of His Own Cult 19/

Note. Nobody can stop Trump from holding his rallies.

And nobody can change what Trump talks about.

And nobody can stop him from thus destroying the GOP.

If anyone tries to say something, Trump will immediately attack them.

GOP are scared shitless

Helsinki Speculation Thread 1/

What happened at the Helsinki Hostage Summit?

Trump & Putin spent 2 hours 20 minutes alone, without any advisors. After the meeting we get this infamous photo, which essentially summarizes Trump. The Gimp & his Master. This thread is speculation Image
Helsinki Speculation 2/

What we do know is that Trump insisted there not be any advisors at the meeting. Unprecedented for a planned meeting. And it was remarkably long, 2 hours 20 minutes. After the meeting Trump took the interpreter's notes and tore them up. There is no record
Helsinki Speculation 3/

BEFORE the Helsinki Hostage Summit, Trump had been eager and enthusiastic about the upcoming summit. But after the personal meeting, he emerged ashen, as if frightened out of his mind, while Czar Vladimir the Smug wore that grin like the winner Image

Short Thread to summarize Putin-Trump relationship

This relationship started long ago. Trump held a Miss Universe contest in Moscow, invited Putin who didn't show up. Trump then tried to get a Trump Tower into Moscow. Part of this project was still active during 2016 campaign Image
As Trump ruined his credit rating and no US bank would lend him a penny (Trump was blacklisted), he went abroad for his funding. Beavis & Butthead Trump bragged that they don't need money from US banks because they had Russian money funding Trump projects
During this time (before his campaign) on a Trump visit to Moscow, it is near certain he was videorecorded for the infamous Pee Tape. Because of how much Trump obsessed about it, we can be sure that tape exists. Or tapes. Probably some prostitute that looks like Ivanka

Immunity to Reality Thread 1/

This is part 4 of my Threads relating to Trumpian Maganutters of #Cult45. Since Trump became a figurehead for this mob, they have developed an exceptionally strong IMMUNITY against REALITY

How did that happen, who did it, and how. A thread...
Immunity to Reality Thread 3/

As before, this is part of a SERIES of Threads. You will not have adequate understanding of what I discuss, if you jump in at the middle. You have to read previous parts first. There are 3. This was the last part:

Origin of Cult45 Thread 1/

Ok, lets do Part 3 in my threads about #Cult45. Who built this Trump cult (was not Trump). And who controls this cult that is wiping out GOP today (it is not Trump)

Here is where the rubber starts to hit the road... read on...
Origin of Cult45 Thread 2/

Cult45 is the magacult, that adores Trump. But Trump did not BUILD this cult. He inherited it, like he inherited his millions from his scumbag slumlord dad, Fred Trump. Cult45 was built over two DECADES before Trump... by Fox. Let's explore
Origin of Cult45 Thread 3/

First a warning. This is part 3 of a series. You have to have read parts 1 and 2 before reading this part 3. Here is link to the previous part 2 (which has link to part 1)

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:

Understanding Cult45 Thread 3/

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

Levels of Trump supporters Thread 1/

I will be doing a series of threads on GOP and Trump supporters. This is the intro thread. Let us look at TYPES of Trump supporters and voters first, before we examine his cult in more detail.
Trump Supporter Levels Thread 2/

Think of Trump supporters as a series of concentric circles. So one circle inside the next

(Oh, T Dawg! You didn't warn us that there's going to be math! Is this going to be on the test?)

Only a LITTLE bit of geometry. No calculus :-)
Trump Supporter Levels Thread 3/

The outermost circle are people who gave Trump a vote, but did not vote 'for' Trump. Some voted against Hillary or against Joe. Some vote straight Republican ticket, and some even - yes this happens - flipped a coin.
