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.
Polls are almost always worthless.
Cult of personality is like a cult, more at 11.
Pure brain rot, Jesus Christ.
They prefer Trump over HIM, too.
What does an emo band from the mid 2000s have to do with it
Literally. You can’t blame this on people of faith any more…
Literal fascists.
If only Smedly Butler had told us.
Their stupidity is a burden on those around them tho
Cult
it’s not a cult, guys

Not even when they hand out the Flavoraid
I only signed up for the bunk beds and matching sneakers…
When are they going to drink it?
As soon as their supreme leader gives them the go-ahead.
It’s bleach flavor
Apparently Jonestown was just a dry run.
at least, in the end, they rid the world of themselves. MAGAts want everyone else dead.
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.
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.
It’s really convenient that you can simply accept any information from the government with no proof because it allows you to never be wrong.
No, it was a cult.
Everything you know about them you learned from the government.
I didn’t learn about Jonestown from the government. You’re staying to sound a bit like a cultist yourself.
Who did you learn about it from? Where did they get their information?
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.
Sure, but I never said otherwise. Do you think I’m a Trump supporter?
No, everything I learned came from private enterprise.
Whatever you need to tell yourself to get to sleep at night.
You sound like a government plant stranger. I’m going to listen to myself, not your lunacy.
Did you listen to the recordings? Sounded more like a hostage situation than people expecting to be raptured.
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.
That’s because they’re morons.
These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West.
A mudslide?
I feel like we need some sort of legal protection for circumstances like this. no objective analysis of these people’s behaviour would agree that they’re acting rationally, and probably can’t even be considered to be in their right minds. should we risk individuals so afflicted being able to determine the direction an entire country takes? do they pass out voting forms at mental institutions?
I feel like this could be a slippery slope for whoever is in charge and if not done right which is more than likely it’ll be like going back in time where anytime someone disagrees with something “you’re being hysterical” then you get institutionalized.
it certainly carries risks, but then, seemingly so does doing nothing to address it. I wonder how many people would still be alive if trump had never gotten a first term.
To your last question I mean
so if a country manages to reach a critical threshold of cultists, the government should just hand over the reins, despite the likelihood it will never again (or at least, for an extensive period) see a fair election?
You said mental illness, which is what I was referring to. Also, cultists are (generally, unless they’re otherwise forbidden) allowed to vote as well (unfortunately).
If Americans actually voted this wouldn’t be an issue. The problem is the only people who actually vote at every chance they get are these types.
Actually, yes.
As I understood, that was one intent of the electoral college.
Disqualifying a candidate is the intended legal protection. Unfortunately, I’m not sure that will ever be used effectively if it’s not done to Trump.
that’s not going to work for his supporters, though. they’ll scream conspiracy and the next capital riot might not be such a joke.
Rioting will come and go. Assuming a disqualification is recognized by enough people, then the noise makers will go back into the woodwork for a time.
There’s a lot of misguided people out there who would vote for Trump if he was on a ballot but would not start a civil war if he was not.
I feel like it’s true to say that we are the closest we’ve been to a civil war since the last, but that doesn’t mean that the risk of civil war is high.
they’re all going to Hell… fuck 'em…
“grandpa, life is hard for young people.”
“no. It’s not. Life was hard for ME. Trump and fox say young people just need to work hard and save! And that also Biden ruined the economy.”
Fucking. Morons.
pure cult shit
Trump voters have friends who aren’t also Trump voters?
Not anymore.
