CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter on Sunday provided a platform to Steven Hassan — an author and self-proclaimed expert on “cults” — allowing him to go unchallenged when he claimed President Donald Trump is the leader of a “destructive cult,” who is deploying mind control to cement support among his “obedient followers.”
Hassan — a former member of the Unification Church in the 1970s — appeared on Stelter’s program to promote his newly-released book, The Cult of Trump.
A partial transcript is as follows:
BRIAN STELTER: The word “cult” has been popping up more and more.

It is much more the case that Leftist fit the "Cult" paradigm with their religious obsessions with climate change and other Utopian causes which seem immune to logic and fact. Further, they are quick to demonize those who dare to question or disagree.
Once again the Leftist accusation proves to be confessional.

So, following the order of projection, the leftists are telling us that they are a destructive cult. News flash! They use mind control on their voters. Hmmmm. . . I wonder who is their leader? Besides satan.
Does the following sound like leftists, or what? Is there such a thing as a healthy cult? Seriously?
FTA: "STEVEN HASSAN: I define a destructive cult as an authoritarian pyramid-structured group with someone at the top who claims to have total power and total wisdom that uses the deception and control of behavior, information, thoughts, and emotions to make people loyal and dependent and obedient followers.
For me, the issue between an ethical healthy cult, where you’re free to think and free to leave, versus a destructive cult. I’m referring to Trump’s organization and followership as a destructive cult, where people are being fed propaganda and they’re not being encouraged to think for themselves. They’re not being encouraged to really explore and look at the details and arrive at their own conclusion. Much of what they’re hearing is emotionally driven, loaded words, thought-stopping and thought-terminating-type clichés like “fake news” or “build the wall” or “make America great again.”"

Trump is a time-travelling alien mastercriminal from the future who has used his secret time-displacement machine to arrive at this very moment to destroy the Democratic Party. CNN will break this news tonite-I know because Trump let me use his machine to peer into the future for a few hours. Also, I saw the winning Lotto numbers. See you in Bimini!

If you can't beat him, smear him. A great time to be a lowly democrat.

Hmmm . . . was Stelter and Hassan talking about Obama. Pretty much an apt description of Obama and his cult-like following. Especially the Press. There was a lot of deception and behavior control going on those 8 years of the Lightbringer.

Says another idiot who worshiped the ground that his messiah walked on. If there was ever a presidential cult leader, it was Hussein O.

It's the democrats that vote in lockstep with their leader, Queen Nasty. And it's the lame media that all parrot the same dem. talking points every day.

Maybe the reason this is popping up as a word to describe PDJT is that former NXIVM members are disclosing activities involving the cult. There's an article on rantingly.com with info about prominent dems. Projection is their weapon every time.

Mr. Trump is not asking me to drink Kool-Aid. CNN, ABC, CBS, Fox News (to some extent), and every major newspaper in the country are. And so is the DNC. Now . . . let's talk about cults.

Nobody knows better than Steven Hassan that cults challenge your beliefs and values. They shame you for them driving you into a state of depression and then the reconstruct you by offering salvation first by identifying someone / something else as the boogie; yes you are a horrible person and it's good you finally get that, but it isn't your fault. It was how you were influenced by.....and now by accepting the theology of the cult you can be saved and join the elite, become elite.
Where is the shaming for leftist views? Rallying around shallow slogans does not constitute the mind control process.

I wonder if he also controls the minds of CNN contributors like Joan Walsh, making her write really stupid articles about the dog Conan and Melania's macabre coat.

They have been so deep in their TDS that they cannot grasp that the President is doing policies which please many, many people, and that his economy is helping essentially everyone.
They really are deranged.

Yes President Trump actually controls the minds of deranged democrats. Why else would they do so many stupid things, as well as destroy their own party?
Hehe! I would love to be a fly on the wall of these democrats undergoing psychotherapy! I suspect Psychiatrists are secretly writing text books for future students about the democrat mind.

The leftist media are all bat snot crazy. They should all be locked up under involuntary admission to high security mental facilities for being a danger to themselves and others. Red flag laws should be used on them. They have no clue what reality is and live in their own fantasy world.

He cannot control the minds of the far-out left, because their minds are dead.
The cult is the cult of Marxism-Leninism, championed by Bernardo Sandernista and Alexa Occasional-Cortex.
Who is the cultist? The one who believes in something for nothing (socialist) or the one who believes that using capital wisely produces more capital.
Today's socialists remind me of the cargo cultists of the Pacific Islands, who built fake quonset huts in the hope of attracting U S goods, following World War II.
Pity they don't just go to Canada for their medical care.
Really: which ones are brainwashed?

Rush predicted this yesterday. The use of the word “cult“ would be cropping up more and more. Once again he was right.
