I now call it "mob delusion" Trump + the GOP+ Trump MAGAs.

I didn't believe in this stuff before but know I do. I see how Jim Jones was able to do what he did. I don't understand why it works. It's almost like they have all been hypnotized. PBS Rise of the Nazis will be interesting tonight.

All lost souls who all of a sudden bought into an identity. They could see themselves as strong as the men they answer to. They could hear themselves using the words flung around boardrooms. They could never have read walter mitty.

And trump, being an expert con man/carnival barker, knows this all too well. He's a master at manipulating the gullible.
