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 still wonder Jonestown was a hostage situation and the members of the cult were coerced at gunpoint to drink poison to avoid being tortured to death by the CIA.

            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.

            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.

        It was, in fact, a cult. The only people you could reasonably assume were “hostages” were the children that were forced to drink cyanide because they didn’t understand what was happening. You can hear them on the recording.

        There were people who left Jonestown that spoke about the practice sessions. Most people were not in any way forced to drink it because they were brainwashed.

          You can actually hear a lot of people crying, not just the children. You’ve heard it was a cult, but all that information was filtered through the US government.

            It’s really convenient that you can simply refuse any information as it being from the government with no proof because it allows you to never be wrong.
