      6. There's a long storyline where Cerebus becomes Pope. And part of how he maintains power is via polarizing.

      7. Pope Cerebus does more & more extreme things, polarizing acts which lose followers but build a hard core of the faithful.

      10. Point made by this sequence is that killing the baby doesn't end the worship of Pope Cerebus, rather it intensifies allegiance of base

      11. Throwing (and killing) baby was precursor to Trump's own comment that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue & not lose supporters.

      12. Cult-logic 101: keep upping the ante with more absurd & cruel statements & actions, binding faithful to you as they defend these things.

      13. This seem prescient as well. The brash acknowledgement that this is all a con which brings in even more suckershttps://twitter.com/Hyper_lexic/status/715018184470827010 …

      14. Other point of comparison is disassociated personality: Cerebus, like Trump, refers to himself in third person.

      15. And of course the creator of Cerebus, Dave Sim, ended up a fringe far right sexist hermit, with a few culty followers.

      16. Like I said, someone better verse in Cerebus the Aardvark should pursue this line of inquiry.
