Former President Donald Trump’s supporters say they hold him as a source of true information over their family, friends, and religious leaders, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll out on Sunday.

    If you told me 10 years ago Donald Fucking Trump would be the head of the largest American cult of all time…

    Just… What the fuck guys? What the actual fuck.

      The only way you can control people is to lie to them.

      and…

      If a man really wanted to make a million dollars, the best way to do it would be start his own religion.

          That part is genuinely the most baffling part to me. Like, I can see why somebody would fall into the cult of a really charismatic leader, a great public speaker that gets to your emotions etc.

          But I can’t decipher half the shit that man says. He’s not just incapable of forming a proper sentence with a point, but he also has a terrible speaking voice, making his incoherent ramblings even harder to understand when not transcribed.

    My father is one of them. Because of his idiotic glorification and idol worship of trump, my family has told him to fuck off. Haven’t talked to him for almost 3 years now. He even believed the big lie

      It is sad to hear how we let the wealthy class and politicians divide us on culture wars and identity politics.

      We should be talking more to the people we don’t agree with and come together over class lines, working class vs. wealthy class.

      Trump and Sanders were both able to create a grassroots movement for a reason.

      Talking is the way to get to what we share in common, instead we focus on what we disagree on.
