While cults have been around before we became a country, they've never been mainstreamed like they are now.
We're faced with the biggest and most dangerous cult to ever challenge democracy; the Trump cult.
Cults in America became big news in the 1970s. Violent cults under leaders like Charles Manson, Reverend Jim Jones, and others became common names in American households.
Political, racist, or terrorist cults are fueled by belief in changing society, revolution, overthrowing the perceived enemy or getting rid of "evil forces."
Trump's attempts to overthrow our government and turn it into a fascist regime, have been numerous and continue to this day.
In a relatively short period of time Trump transformed Americans into two armed camps. His believers and the rest of the country that still believes in a democracy.
One of the things that makes the Trump cult so deadly is it's a crossover cult combining political and religious cults that are based on ultra-conservative family values, strict morals, or patriotism.
There's never been a more dangerous cult in our history where an ex-president is actively trying to overthrow our electoral system in order to seize power.
With half of America believing the 2020 election was stolen, we're facing a crisis unlike anything seen before in our history.
The only way to defeat Trump and his minions is to vote against them. Plucking Trump's enablers out of politics is going to take a lot of determination and participation at the polls.
America is worth it. Freedom is worth it. Fighting disinformation is worth it.
In this time of America's identity crisis, we must not let Trump's cult flourish. We must defeat him and his cult followers for the sake of the nation.
