Crisis cults are very attractive to people who highly need a way to feel OK in, well, a crisis. And we right now are having a long term political/economic crisis that is enriching a few oligarchs while impoverishing the many, a pandemic crisis that is so poorly managed it is killing a thousand plus people a day, and an acute economic crisis caused by the pandemic and aggravated by derelict leadership, and more political crisis stemming from the demagogic/authoritarian efforts to distract from it all as the election looms. Hell, it's a wonder we don't have 10 Q-Anons.

Trumpism itself is a 'crisis cult,' of course.

We need much stronger tort, libel, slander laws in this country. Something along the line to protect against this form of misguided mind control of the vulnerable.

From FB:
"We have instincts to love hero figure leaders and hate enemies and villains. This means it feels good and right to activate these instincts. That's how they work to motivate us. Critical thinking, in comparison, is generally difficult and not very emotionally rewarding at all. Indeed, if you haven't been doing it, the results are just about certain to be quite unpleasant."
