I appreciate your disagreement prembio, but consider that Trump is selling his bibles complete with copies of the US constitution and pledge of allegiance. He is selling it for $60 and claiming it is the only bible endorsed by him.so there is a little religion now being mixed in.Also revisionism is in full speed ahead for Trump. The convicted Jan 6 participants are being referred to by Trump and his sycophants as hostages. I saw the riot unfold from beginning to end on TV including the condemnations by all senior Republican leaders. This revisionism that has been adopted by Trump and his supporters reminds me of Rawat’s denial of his Lord of the universe days and its acceptance by the premies.
I don’t think Trump started out as a cult leader. I don’t think he was one in2016 when he ran for president. I didn’t even think about it then when I voted for him
But he has been evolving into a cult leader in my opinion. I don’t think all of his voters are cult members. I would say that the 25 percent of Republicans that say they would vote for him even if he is convicted of multiple felonies are certainly exhibiting cult like loyalty.
These observations and many others lead me to point out the similarities of Trump and Rawat. Furthermore, I have actually met and spent time with both Rawat and Trump.
The susceptibility of human beings to cult or cult like behavior is interesting to me in light of the fact that I was trapped in it myself for so many years.
Re: the Prem Rawat cult... a little bit culty?
