    But for their base it has worked overall, as they donā€™t operate on facts and have been trained to dismiss facts as the ā€œdeep stateā€ working against them. Itā€™s all theater, they 100% donā€™t want to do the work even if they had a case, it just to put shit out there that the base ingests without any follow up, and then passes it on as fact (but the kind they can believe).

        Exactly. It should have crazy academic value, to study a cult of this size and power, and itā€™s rise (and hopefully demise) right out in the open for everyone to see. Normally they have been regulated to some ā€œcompoundā€ where they are discouraged by the leader from interacting with the rest of society. This cult is trying to take society/religion over. If it wasnā€™t for all the fascism the Trump cult would be fascinating with the sheer amount of cognitive dissonance required to walk around in everyday life, with free access to everything in the ā€œoutside worldā€, and still eat up all the leader guys shit and beg for more.
