The dangerous cult of Donald Trump

[kaz]

LOL, Democrats all have the same position on every issue and justify them with the same talking points, Republicans can't agree on anything, and you think Republicans are the herd.

Of course you do, Democrats told you to think that

They do not have the capacity to THINK.. You can not "think" the earth is flat. It might be something some imbeciles believe, but they can not be THINKING" and end up with the conclusion the world is flat.

Isn't that what I said when I said "Democrats told you to think that?"

 

[nat4900]

Get over it. You lost.

I'm GLAD that I lost the stupidity to fall for a cult.....You, however.......lol

Of course, Trump cult members on here will deride this article…and who can blame them…..But please look at the avatars that some posters have adopted amd some of the screen names used by these posters.

Anyway, the following excerpts from some of the “prominent” Trump supporters, show the CULT-mentality that prevails……..and the real danger that such a mind-set poses to our democracy.

There’s been a cultish quality to President Trump’s most ardent supporters. He seemed to acknowledge the phenomenon when he boasted that he could “stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody” and not lose voters.

Throughout the campaign, and in personal appearances since then, Trump has harnessed the kind of emotional intensity from his base that is more typical of a religious revival meeting than a political rally, complete with ritualized communal chants ("Lock her up!").

The word "cult" in its pejorative sense, means a deeply insular social group bound together by extreme devotion to a charismatic leader. Such groups tend to exhibit a few common characteristics.

They are usually formed around an individual whom they've elevated to prophetic and near divine status.

During the campaign, Franklin Graham,Trump's most enthusiastic evangelical Christian supporter, dismissed his many moral failings by comparing him favorably to the flawed patriarchs and prophets of the Bible: Abraham, Moses and David.

Robert Jeffress, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, told a talk radio audience that Trump was a better presidential candidate than someone who "embodies the teaching of Jesus" because Trump fit the biblical preference for a "strongman" in government.

Frank Amedia, an Ohio pastor who briefly had ties to the Trump campaign, explicitly cast the president as a prophet receiving divine revelations: "I believe he receives downloads that now he's beginning to understand come from God."

The authority that a cult leader exercises comes from his self-ascribed role as the one true information source for his followers. Competing ideas and facts are not just wrong; they are demonic................That some of Trump's supporters view the president in cosmic terms is clear.

A month after the inauguration, Pat Robertson said those who oppose Trump are "revolting against what God's plan for America is."

Paula White, the pastor of New Destiny Christian Center in Florida and a Trump spiritual advisor, recently told her congregation that resisting Trump is tantamount to "fighting against the hand of God."

Trump's truest believers have sounded downright apocalyptic:

"This is not a battle between Republicans and Democrats," Jeffress said in 2016. "It's a battle between … righteousness and unrighteousness, light and darkness."

Amedia declared that God personally told him that Trump's presidency was paving the way for the Second Coming.

If Trump's presidency deteriorates further, expect the religious fervor of many of his followers to reach a fever pitch. That poses a risk for the country. Because the only thing more dangerous than a cult leader is a cult leader facing martyrdom.

I dont believe the idiots are smart enough to be called a cult - herd is more like it

I find it funny, if liberals call conservatives idiots then the moderators are fine no problem, but if a conservative calls a liberals idiots or stupid we get a warning.
So moderators what’s up with that y’all wouldn’t be hypocrites would you?

The above article cites various Trump acolytes about how they see the Trump presidency.......The question that arises is a simple one:
Do you agree that Trump is the messiah that you voted for and when....if ever....are you willing to abandon the cult mentality?

These people appear sane but they aren't. Ignorant religious people that follow what they perceive as a 'divinity on Earth' are the most dangerous humans there are because they actually believe they are doing cosmic good in WHATEVER actions they take. Isis shows in the starkest terms what this looks like at it's conclusion. Burning people in cages like animals, throwing people off of buildings, beheading children, raping women nonstop on a daily basis.

This is what it looks like when human animals that are uneducated but fanatically religious, look like when they are unleashed either by outside entities or from within to do as their every whim commands them to.

You mean Obama right?

thats WHY i wish this thread had been created by you instead of him because nat has no credibility.He would be best to stop making threads about how corrupt trump is because he has NO credibility in the fact he ignores pesky facts that Hitlery and Obomination are mass murderers and every bit as corrupt as Trump. I dont want the likes of him coming on mu Trump threads when i expose his corruption because of that cause HE hurts the cause with his biased warped opinions on Obama and Hitlery.
