      Reza Aslan Retweeted Matt Viser

      “The authority that a cult leader exercises comes from his self-ascribed role as the one true information source for his followers. Competing ideas and facts are not just wrong; they are demonic.” 1/4https://twitter.com/mviser/status/1058798676338982912 …

      “I’m the only one who ever tells you the facts,” President Trump says. Which is, of course, not true.

      “The cult leader is believed to possess special knowledge. No matter how demonstrably false his pronouncements, they become truth for his followers. Trump has been spectacularly successful at getting his supporters to believe his blandishments rather than their own eyes.” 2/4

      Trump, of course, characterizes most media outlets as "fake news." He calls journalists "liars" and "sick people" who are "trying to take away our history and our heritage." A whopping 60% of Trump supporters agreed with him that the media are "the enemy" of people like them. 3/4

      “Consider that in a HuffPost/YouGov poll, only 8% of Trump supporters believed the claims of sexual assault made against him despite the evidence of the "Access Hollywood" tape.” 4/4

          Did autocorrect change it to "cult"?

          Rez, Primo Levi in The Drowned and the Saved describes the behavior we are seeing as Hitlerian, not some innocuous cult leader’s. If our Democracy fails us at his point, it fails the world.
