Related: About this forumAbsolutely Rhetorical Question: Is the MAGA base a cult?
Anyone here remember The Pretenders, the British rock band? After the group split, its former lead singer Chrissie Hynde had some solo hits, including a song called How Much Did You Get For Your Soul? 'Christian' GOPhers might want to give it a listen.

(10,536 posts)1. Of course it is a cult. The real question is how did this happen?
I posit that it is the Donor/media propaganda in large part. The other reason is they gave poor and middle class whites a target that they say is responsible. Minorities of all stripes were to blame: immigrants, blacks, LGBTV, and Democrats. Fake News kept the followers from accepting the facts and believing their propaganda.

He is Fooling the Gullible. They believe him because he is on TV. It's also the failure of assholes like McCarthy to speak up and tell them they've been USED. trump MUST be taken OFF the airwaves and Internet media.
