    Cults are nothing new. But the big media outlets aren’t helping anything by avoiding using that c-word for this phenomenon. It is undeniably a cult, and it needs to be called that.

      I mean, hell, we can forget the “c-word” and we still have this huge issue with foreign (and even domestic!) bad actors stirring shit up with disinformation campaigns in our society. When will our government acknowledge it and actually fucking DO something??

        One can only conclude that they haven’t because a significant proportion of the government is just as compromised by it - or finds it useful.
