Let's turn this around for a moment

reliably Sore-Asses' Brian Stelter hosted hack author Steven Hassan on Sunday. The subject was Hassan's new fiction piece, The Cult of Trump. Hassan charged that President Trump is the leader of a massive cult, and we are powerless to leave.
He made a step by step analysis.
First point; “I define a destructive cult as an authoritarian pyramid-structured group with someone at the top who claims to have total power and total wisdom that uses the deception and control of behavior, information, thoughts, and emotions to make people loyal and dependent and obedient followers.” fair enough, Cults are defined by having a leader who is authoritarian and has near total power over those below him. We have seen that destructive pattern carried to its extreme conclusion in Jonestown and with groups such as heaven's gate.
I would contend that those who support President Trump do so because it is in their best interests. Joblessness is on the decline. Manufacturing is returning, wages are increasing, People can look about and see the improvement happening. This is no delusion. If the vast improvement was not happening right before our eyes, we would be deserting him. This is not a prize around the corner.
Contrast that with Barry who told us we'd be able to keep our plan, keep our doctor and more after they rammed peepee caa caa through in the middle of the night, hours before losing their filibuster proof majority to a replacement from Taxachucetts. remember that the media who had ample time to read it all after passage, reported that it was a great gift and gave glowing reviews of that turd. (Okay, I am slightly biased. deal with it.)
Point two; ..where people are being fed propaganda and they’re not being encouraged to think for themselves,” he continued. “They’re not being encouraged to really explore and look at the details and arrive at their own conclusion. Much of what they’re hearing is emotionally driven, loaded words, thought-stopping and thought-terminating-type clichés.... We need not look hard at the garbage spewed by Barry to see that certainly this was the case from 2009 through January of 2017.
Criticism of the dark skinned Arab was immediately racist!!!!
Point three; “We can start with the pathological lying, which is characteristic of destructive cult leaders,” the self-styled”expert” replied. “Saying things in a very confident way that have nothing to do with facts or truthfulness. The blaming others and never taking responsibility for his own failures and faults. Shunning and kicking out anyone who raises questions or concerns about his own behavior. His use of fear mongering immigration is a horrible thing.” ( I chose to cross out immigration rather than delete it to preserve the stupidity therein.) We got plenty of fearmongering from Barry. Again, the charge of being racist for opposing his poor decisions. Thank GOD that President Trump is reversing the tide if only for a few years. Again I point to his many statements about the hell care bill, but his handling of the economy was much worse. Again, the use of racism as a shield from criticism.
As to his steps to deal with those who are caught up, All Ican say is the liberals I have attempted to reason with immediately begin shouting about how Trump is evil case closed, and won't hold a discussion. That to me is the true mark of a cult possessed person. Try talking facts, and get shouted down. Not. Worth. The. Effort.

Oh, by the way, how is President Trump able to pull that all off when he is so lacking in mental acuity? To my knowledge, the last American President with his appetite for reading and ability to retain information was JFK who was said to have eidetic memory. Barry couldn't keep it going straight with two teleprompters.
