This video gives a good analysis of the cult, its members - e.g. Frank, JaSin, Bobby, aquascoot, et al. - and how it will end.

All excellent points, Greggery. The Weber take is most interesting. Three forms of power - traditional, legal and charismatic.

Back when the old boy was a Neocon, he followed the former. Uncle has to play sheriff, he said. Superior culture. Rule of law, innit.

Now he's an authoritarian charismatic, the law no longer matters. DL's the one, he says. Give in to your overwhelming desire to obey.

They're now using totally programmed bot-speak. Aquascoot's been using it for years - the Real Americans, the chodes, the Superior Man, he upon the "narrow road to success". Stuff he's read on the back of self-help books, things he's heard on Joe Rogan, preachy rants on Sky News, all mixed up and packaged into a love of he, a desperate search for meaning and identity, all fed by the algorithm.

Not sure why we worry about AI. Superior intelligence could create a far better cult than this. St Paul created a mainstream cult out of an angry political agitator. It lasted two millenia.

Right now, churches all over America are preaching DL. The actual gospel is ignored entirely. As Americans have become poorer and more dumb, prosperity doctrine has given way to the right to bear arms, misogyny, white supremacy and grabbing clicks on social media. They don't even know what Jesus is supposed to have said - they now worship an adulterous convicted felon as their saviour.

You couldn't make it up. It's the most unbelievable schema we've ever been sold, but there it is.

They're already covering their arses. DL will be dead in less than a decade.

How do you think they'll play it then?

They are utterly gone once they get sucked into the MAGA cult. There is nothing Trump does that will shake the support of diehard MAGA. Sure, some have come to their senses and left, but not nearly enough. We see it every day on this forum - halfwits like Frank, Leroy and Jasin who can't think for themselves, only parrot MAGA talking points and take what chronic liars in the administration say as gospel.

If you think that a country like the US, who have used two nuclear bombs on a country, invaded and subverted Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, killing millions of ordinary people.
Have assassinated the leadership, their families and 168 schoolgirls together with thousands of civilians in Iran, have actively participated in Israel’s genocide in Palestine,  are by any stretch of the imagination the good guys, then my friends, I am afraid you have miserably failed the very basic test of humanity.

their system is open to abuse and corruption.
even when he has gone, it will still be the same flawed system.

The Dems weren't always as blody mindedly 'pwogwessive' as they have become since they lost to Dubya.

Open borders, cant say what a woman is, relentles race caiting, multiculturalism, America-hate, Submission to Islam, etc, etc, etc.  They used to be butch - Kennedy, Johnson - but then turned disabled undocumented CALD trannies.

Bazza Hussein (ahem... O'Bama didnt help:

Race baiting is the throughline between the mainstream media’s response to Donald Trump descending the golden escalator in June 2015, the Very Fine People Hoax, the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s recent assertion that “the MAGA party is the last breath of the Confederacy”. Barack Obama’s declaration, back in 2015, that racism is a part of “America’s DNA” tells us much about his role in setting back race relations in the United States half a century. Thedisingenuous Unifier-in-Chief manufactured an enemy—white folk who “cling to guns and religion”—that gave a purpose to his otherwise purposeless time in office. It came at the cost of polarising Americans and tearing the country apart.
