HuffPost · MAGA Continues To Rage At Trump About Jeffrey Epstein FilesBy Igor Bobic

It must really suck to be a member of a #cult whose leader claims that a special scroll will not only name the enemies of the cult but indict them of horrible crimes, and then have the cult leader tell everyone there was no scroll after all and they should all just forget about it and maybe just stop asking so many questions about it already….

@datum @ai6yr Point taken. Kudos to all people who escape and expose a #cult. What I meant was that ALL cults are weird in their own unique way, and their cult-specific beliefs and rituals are meaningless. Even those with millions and millions of people in them.

But I agree that including general awareness of #cults and how to distinguish them from normal social groups should be a required component of early #Education.

Cultist Simulator was my bedtime game for a long time. It put me in a strange, dreamlike state. I played it many times as different characters and never found any sort of win state. At some point I decided I might need to play it more seriously and actually try to win in some way. I started to make progress but then it immediately became too stressful to make me sleepy so I stopped playing.

"And so it's a little hard to imagine, but in some ways I think a large percentage of the people that we talk to would kind of say that and like, well, I'll let the chips fall where they may, but I still see him as the only one who can get things done that I want to see done."

To repeat what Mike Masnick says, "It's about character." People who prize character know that their character is rightly judged according to who they choose to associate with.

But as Davram points out, there's also the considerable group who will stick with him no matter what because "he gets things done." They say,

"I never said he was a good guy or that he hadn't done anything illegal. He's no Boy Scout. I'm not electing Mother Teresa. It's like everything can be swept aside. It's like he's the only one who can get things done that I think need to be done."

In similar vein, Katie Phang talks with Jason Selvig and Davram Stiefler of the Good Liars team, who tell her what keeps most of MAGA world attached to Trump through thick and thin is the sense of belonging to something that sets them apart from the common herd.

Jason thinks Trump won't be able to sweep the Epstein thing under the rug with his followers, because a lot of them are passionately into it.

"It attracts those who mistake confidence for competence, who confuse being loud with being right, who think that admitting uncertainty is weakness.

It’s not about education or geography or even politics. It’s about character."

He offers a rundown of some typical "types" who go MAGA. Three that fascinate me: the wellness influencer, the crypto enthusiast, the Facebook mom — all of them puffed up with secret gnostic knowledge available only to cult members.
