I don’t get how this guy still has support when his whole base was for releasing the files and he said he would. Now he’s going to pardon his accomplice?

    Cultists don’t have opinions of their own. They just live in an endless “now” where their leader is always right.

    How can anyone listen to Trump for five seconds and not think of a sleazy, used car salesman? It’s like seeing through an obvious magic trick while everyone around you is going “whoa!” and thinking, “wtf is wrong with you guys?”

      I’m going to keep trotting this phrase out: some of y’all never been in a cult and it shows.

      Listen to the stories from people who left Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses (where I was), and various evangelical groups. Some of whom were extremely devout before. Doubts do creep in. It might take several years to work out (and the US does not have several years to solve its fascism problem), but it does happen.

      Genetically Modified Skeptic, Telltale Atheist, and JW Thoughts are all examples on YouTube.
