This guy at the 1:31 mark... My god. I have never encountered anyone like that in my life-- to my knowledge. But there are millions like him.
Have you ever known anyone with the intellectual or emotional markings of a cult member?

There are a lot of weirdos in this world and the numbers are growing.. trump is like the new joker.. bunch of weirdos sympathize with them cause they see themselves as being similar to them.. lot of outcast, socially awkward, mentally ill gravitate to those guys.. I even had a random convo with some young cat I know from around my way the other day.. he a cool kid but he’s a geek and kinda socially awkward, maybe even a lil slow.. he’s 1 of them dudes you seen for yrs around your area and you give him an automatic head nod or dap when you see him just cause he’s a person from around your way + he harmless.. anyway was doing a quick store run, he happen to be in it and I did the usual hey what up man quick dap.. I guess he had a lot of built in frustration and was like yeah man my boss was pissing me off today blah blah.. so I’m like where you work.. he work for retail and was like he been doing it for over a decade.. so I’m like cool hopefully they paying you good.. that just turned into some random trump rant like yeah guy I get paid close to $17 now thanks to trump when Obama was in office I was getting paid less than $8 , yeah trump made sure I get lots of money now that’s why it’s bullshit they cheated him out of office.. I was like wait what.. had to tell him dude nyc raised minimum wage that had nothing to do with trump that was all nyc and minimum wage boycotts.. he had this stun look like oh he didn’t know that.. just peeping his energy I was like yeah socially awkward nigs can easily be fed a few lies and they will follow somebody cause they are gullible due to their awkwardness and how they take in info.. I now see how trump, cult leaders can easily manipulate certain demographics.. so yeah some of these trump supporters definitely fit that criteria..in a country of 330+ million I bet it’s a few million that have that awkward weirdo mindset that can be manipulated if you tap into their mind/mental
religious people, but we pretend it is ok.
You shouldn't be surprised.... trump is a reflection of how majority of white racist AmeriKKKa thinks, feels and acts. I'm sure at some point you've encountered people like that before... they see him as their great white hope who will bring back the divisive, racist and selfish way of life they all wish to see.
Trump came about cause a lot of people have a desire to be part of something that they view as a winner cause then it makes them winners. That's why the whole own the libs thing was so important for Trump fans. It made them feel powerful cause most never feel that way.
A kid that used to work for me is on Facebook and has gone full Trump supporter. He swears the media is out to get Trump, covid is just the flu etc etc. The entire time I've known him his overwhelming desire was to be known and viewed as cool. It's all that drove him so I get how he could go full Trump.
It's sad but it's not shocking to me.
Hell I'm smart and I'm a FUCKING KNICKS FAN. I know I should know better.

You don't have to be surprised to recognize something as outstanding or interesting. You don't think the way that man expressed his sincere faith in Rush and Trump was remarkable?
Saying that racism is part of Trump's appeal doesn't really bring anything to this specific conversation-- You can find black people with cultish devotion engaging in gullible worship the same way. This isn't even about Trump or Rush specifically.
Man, the vast majority of people who voted for Trump are not on that level.
Ehhh.... Maybe not the crying or the "I'd die for him", but he can do no wrong in their eyes.
You'll never understand what's happening in this country if you buy into caricatures instead of seeking to understand what motivates people. Trump got a lot of lesser of two evils votes, lots of people who bought into narratives about Biden's 1994 crime bill or 47 years in Washington. Lots of people who don't really give a damn about politics and aren't paying much attention. That man who called Rush Limbaugh worships those two men.
Just the fact that you say "Maybe not the crying or the 'I'd die for him'" shows how committed you are to fantasy even in the face of facts. It's not maybe, it's obviously. You don't have to like Trump voters to recognize this-- You can't know your enemy if you're emotionally invested in a false narrative.
This is about trump and all all others like him who give people false or misleading hope.... cultish devotion to a specific person happens due to the intense fascination and the hope that a person presents to others, hence why trump and others like him will always have a platform.
My brother.
He calls himself a Jehova's Witness.
I told him, so if someone drives by
right now and shoots you and you're
bleeding out, you want me to tell the
EMS worker to not give you a blood
transfusion? He said yes, tell them
not to give me blood. He will refuse
blood in ANY situation and to me, you
are a cult member if you think that
you'll go to heaven if you refuse a
blood transfusion.
Foh.

That’s was a good segment in the video.
People wants to be a part of something. No matter what it is. Of course, you have extreme cases but for the most part, people wants to belong to something especially for it make them feel good.
I can never underestimate the lengths a person will go to maintain that. People are crazy for their truth and when challenged they will lash out.
The guy in the video is right. There is no solution.

The crazy thing about that is, I don’t have any conscious idea of the afterlife. Fuck around and your brother might be right the thing needed to be done to get into heaven.
Lol.I wouldn’t refuse a transfusion, but it is amazing to see what people are will believe and the things they’ll give up because they are set in their convictions.

Yep. I don't believe that there is a God
that floats around in the sky but
following a religion and praying to a
deity is OK with me if it can make you
feel better about yourself but when
you're willing to end your life because
of a religion, you're a fucking cult
member in my opinion.
Dude WTF is wrong with you. You are the one that responded with ....
"Man, the vast majority of people who voted for Trump are not on that level."
Do you just be saying anything in your threads?
all i see is 73-million stupid ass white folks....they have no soul,,no reputation so they have no bottom....
I know dozens of people like that. It might be why I'm so anti-republican because I know that it leads to this.
In my experience, it's often the weaker members of the cult who act like this. They met the bare requirements of joining and have the least to offer so they compensate by being the strongest follower.

I always thought somebody else blood inside me was always a crazy concept that cartoons have ruined for me
Op is a bern bro for 8 years and he’s asking about cults
Hilarious

I know a kid who gets extra hype talking about trump.. he’s like an on going joke around my way.. we still don’t know what happened to make him go full trumper.. he’s been like that ever since trump started to run... sometime if people want a show they just trigger him by saying something negative about trump or be like what’s up with your boy than they just sit back and watch the nig get extra hype and defend trump.. shits weird.. like I said trump triggered something into certain demographic and have dudes be all in their feelings
You need to re-read the exchange.
"The vast majority of people who voted for Trump are not on that level" is not a contradiction of the post you quoted-- It's actually effectively a summary. None of the types of Trump voters I described (i.e. "people who don't really give a damn about politics and aren't paying much attention") are at all like the caller in that video.
And I agreed with you and stated they are not on the level of dude in the vid but in their eyes he can do no wrong. Even the ones who don't give a fuck about politics would still say he is the greatest President and did a great job. They'll also defend every fucked up thing he did that you throw at them.
As a kid, after school we used to run errands for pimps who hung out at a bar/pool hall. I saw many women with this mentality, who would steal and kill for men who gave less than a fuck about them. I seen dudes lose hoes after betting them in a game of pool.
People need something to believe in because for a lot of us if we don't we would fall victim to a lot of things that are planted around us on purpose because we need vices,vices help distract us from our reality which can be good or bad depending on how you see it.
Believe but don't believe to the point where you lose yourself,your sense of right and wrong because that can be a slippery slope for you to climb back up after you've realized you've gone to far down.
It deals with mental health as much as we as black people don't want to admit it because we suffer from it because of the weight of the world,society,our family,and just living period is much more heavier than ourselves and for some it's heavier.
It's a Human thing...this is just an example of a white man who's forgotten he's a man first and follower last

Man, most people who don't give a fuck about politics are not going to pretend to be able to rank the American presidents. There are plenty of people who will acknowledge they voted for him just to keep their taxes low, because of abortion, because Democrats want to give healthcare to undocumented people or defund the police, etc. It is not even close to being true that everyone who voted for Trump thinks he can do no wrong.
As blacks we were cut off from our original way of life. The government is a cult.
When ever we can actually remember the way we were.

Remember when people thought the world was going to end or there would be some huge paradigm shift in 2012 based on the Mayan calendar?

I thought about this because I just saw this segment from Bill Maher's show yesterday about cults and "The Great Disappointment."
Recycled blood inside me is creepy but
if it's a matter of living or dying...
Run that shit!
How dare u bring up @smokedacane posts in a attempt to drive up your thread views and discussions
Omg
he would own u right now.
Was he your boo or something, part of the kool krew?
I just saw that related segment and knew I had been kind enough to explain the "Great Disappointment" concept to the board before, so I did a search and pulled up the conversation. I didn't even remember that dude being on some crazy 2012 calendar shit. But it's a good example of how this shit is not specific to Trump and doesn't just apply to morons, because smokedacane was not a dumb guy.
