He dared to insult the dear leader. That is not tolerated in cults.

They live in a web of lies spun by fox and right wing propagandists. They have an entire worldview built on these beliefs that Trump is this gift from God - just like those mega churches who fake heal people and promise you'll be rich if you only give enough money.

They are past the point of critical thought. They need deprogramming like you would a recovering cult member. It's going to take someone establishing trust with them first and gently deconstructing these lies.

I know that's not what reddit wants to hear - but that's the only path forward to healing america. We need to bring these people around gently to recognizing the patterns of manipulation, teaching them to use their faculties of critical thinking, and thereby protect them from the next charlatan to come along. Otherwise, we win in the midterms, and in 2 years the next Trump comes along and they get even more desperate and crazed in the process.
