			Yeah so you're still just fabricating your own reality to help you feel more correct in your arguments online.

		<p>
			Just pretending that those on here that don't support Trump are equal to the Trump cult on here makes it easier for you to argue, create false equivalencies, etc. 
		</p>

		<p>
			You can keep repeating it all you want but that's never going to make it true. But I realize that's never stopped you before.

			This post above just reflects a complete lack of reality. High level typical Steve stuff.

			I realize our Trump voters on this board loved the man, but you can actually vote for Joe Biden without liking him. 
		</p>

		<p>
			When I've actively called Biden a shit candidate that won't do much of anything, multiple times, and you say that he's my "cult leader"...  I think that's just a little bit of projection there.

			Biden is no one's "cult leader", no matter how much you want to try projecting Trump's faults

	Oh there is projection, so often has the left accused Trump/conservatives of is what they themselves are guilty of.
</p>

<p>
	This applies to "cult" as well.  The left is the epitome of a cult, Trump and his supporters are the furthest from one.
</p>

<p>
	Consider cases of those indoctrinated into a cult ultimately shutting out and disowning members of their own family. Sound familiar? It should, as there are thousands of cases in which adult children on the left have completely disowned their parents and other family members because they happen to support Trump.
</p>



<p>
	So, in their effort to label Trump as a cult leader and smear all 63 million of his supporters as cultists, media elites have finally cracked open the door to a real discussion about <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2018/06/06/todays-two-main-political-camps-pro-thought-versus-anti-thought/" rel="external nofollow"><u><span style="color:#0066cc">mass conformity</span></u></a>. It is fascinating to see this latest “cult-of-Trump” meme coming from the left because they are the true masters of group think and deploying mobs to demand total conformity and compliance with their agenda.
</p>



<p>
	<em>A fascinating sidelight to the “Trump Cult” meme comes from a scholar who has studied the profiles and practices of real-life dictators and their cults of personality. Frank Dikotter is a professor of humanities at the University of Hong Kong who recently published <a href="https://www.amazon.com/How-Be-Dictator-Personality-Twentieth/dp/1635573793/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=how+to+be+a+dictator&amp;qid=1575583654&amp;sr=8-1" rel="external nofollow"><u><span style="color:#0066cc">a book</span></u></a> titled “How to Be a Dictator: The Cult of Personality in the Twentieth Century.”</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>In November, during a Q&amp;A session after he spoke<a href="https://www.cato.org/events/how-to-be-a-dictator" rel="external nofollow"><u><span style="color:#0066cc"> about the book at the Cato Institute,</span></u></a> Dikotter was asked if Trump might qualify as a dictator who promoted a cult of personality. Dikotter answered this way: “We tend to denounce anyone we don’t like as a dictator. . .</em>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Cults Are Interested In One Thing Only: Amassing Power and Recruits</strong>
</p>

<p>
	<em>In order to meditate on this last point, we need to consider how each camp—pro-Trump or anti-Trump—views the consolidation of power. Trump’s detractors are on board with building a mass administrative state, run by unelected bureaucrats accountable to no one but those who will keep the mass state bloating.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>They plan to abolish the Electoral College that allows every state to be represented in presidential elections. They hope to secure a “permanent majority” (their words) by gaining recruits (voters) through dependency programs, open borders, and the continuing cultivation of ignorance in education. These practices reflect an unquenchable appetite for power that exactly parallels the operations of cults.</em>
</p>

<h2>
	1. Cults Are Defined By Their Methods, Not Their Beliefs
</h2>

<p>
	<em>Cults use coercive and deceptive methods. They psychologically manipulate people and isolate people from other points of view. Margaret Thaler Singer (1921-2003) was probably the 20th century’s greatest expert on cults. In her <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cults-Our-Midst-Continuing-Against/dp/0787967416/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=cults+in+our+midst&amp;qid=1575591172&amp;sr=8-1" rel="external nofollow"><u><span style="color:#0066cc">must-read book</span></u></a> “Cults in Our Midst,” she constantly drove home the point that a group’s beliefs, no matter how outlandish, have nothing to do with it being a cult.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>Singer was interested primarily in the methods and processes of undue influence and coercive persuasion that dangerous cults practice widely. The purveyors of the “cult of Trump” meme all despise Trump and what he stands for, exactly counter to Singer’s admonition to ignore beliefs. So instead of looking at the left’s beliefs or Trump’s beliefs, let’s look instead at methods used for achieving goals.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>Trump supporters generally adhere to methods involving the rule of law and due process as well as respect for free speech and transparency. Trump himself nominates judges who intend to apply those same processes to their rulings. Whatever you think of Trump’s idiosyncrasies, his policies reflect application of such methods—consistent with the Constitution—quite often with an emphasis on the word “fairness” as it is traditionally understood.</em>
</p>

<p>
	On the other hand, Trump opponents habitually use methods that are coercive, manipulative, and deceptive. They incite high emotion and resentment. They flout the law, as we’ve seen in cases of immigration, impeachment, or election law, as a means of perpetuating their power. They tend to justify lawlessness by claiming they have a moral authority to do so.
