Want to Understand the Modern Democrat
Party? Look no Further than Apocalyptic Cults

Apocalyptic cults provide a window on some amazing complex group dynamics. First, of course is the "apocalyptic" part. This is what they are best known for -- the world is going to end next Tuesday or the aliens will be arriving the first of the month to take the chosen to space heaven, or a hundred other crazed ideas. The cults preach that the only way to “escape this impending doom is by joining the group, adhering to its leader's teachings, and following its prescribed rituals.” For the Democrat party, the most recent apocalyptic tale is of course the horrors of climate change.

Comments:

The author coins apocalyptic cult to describe the state of the Democrats. Good reading.

How can they get away with still calling themselves Americans? Newsmax is one of the few outlets with enough brass to call them what they are.

Maybe, but a simpler explanation is that Satan is firmly in control of today's Democrat Party. You'll never convince me otherwise. There can be no other explanation for the evil we're seeing.

And yet - - and yet - - every "civilized" European nation has completely swallowed this chump bait. The apocalyptic cult is the official political position of nearly every European nation. Go figure.

I disagree with the author. There may be some cult similarities but in large the Democrats want dictatorial power to rule over the country.

Nowhere in the article is it said that Satan isn't involved. The author merely and brilliantly explains how the apocalyptic cult operates. Is the apocalyptic cult Satanic? Without doubt. Further, in this case, it hasn't yet failed because the leftist media are members of the cult.

And, like most other apocalyptic cults, the dems also require its followers to have sex with its leaders...like Bill Clinton, John Podesta, B.Obama, Jeffrey Epstein, etc.

"Pesky facts that don’t conform to their thinking are simply ignored." Which is why talking to the Left is a waste of time. They have no grounding in reality. The truth is what they say it is, ... for today. Tomorrow, they can say it's the opposite and they are good with that. What they want is to overcome their opposition in any way possible. If they have to change their position to attack you, that's OK. If you point out that what YOU are doing conforms with what they want, they will shift positions again, just so they can attack you. And their pet media watches them flip flop all over the place and doesn't say a word. And on top of all this is their anger. Trying to discuss anything with them just makes them mad because you refuse to simply capitulate to their point of view. Of course they then claim that you "hate them" because you won't do what they want. It's all quite crazy and there is no point in talking to crazy people. "The demise of every single apocalyptic cult is built into the very fabric of the cult itself." Let's hope this demise happens to the dems sooner, rather than later. Of course that doesn't mean the nuttiness goes away, even though they might lack a national voice.

I always remember how cults are portrayed by H P Lovecraft: Homicidal, suicidal, and destructive. They are destroyers. Political activists and politicians say violence is justified. Cultists will say the same thing. They believe the death and destruction of others somehow gives them power. When cultists see a government parroting what they believe, they ask 'how can we be part of this'. Cultists will see death on a massive scale. Think Nazi Germany. There was rumor that Nazi Germany was influenced by cults.

“Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee.” That short prayer from Augustine sums it up well. When the Dems deny any existence of God and actively fight against him, He leaves them to their own evil ways (See Romans 1) First and foremost,. they make gods of themselves; gods which promise nothing after this life and no hope for them to look forward to.

This would make Bernie Sanders, Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, AOC, Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsome, Gov Pritzker, Hakeem Jefferies, and many other leading Democrats the modern day equivalent of Charles Manson, Jim Jones, and David Koresh (to name a few). I'm sure this make the Democrats proud.

It appears DEI is still alive and well in the US Secret Service even though there has been a change of guard. Two female US Secret Service Uniformed Division officers got into a physical fight outside of Barack Obama’s DC residence at 2:30 am on Wednesday. It is unclear if anyone was injured or disciplined over the fight. Per RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree: Two female Secret Service Uniformed Division officers got into a physical fight outside former President Obama’s D.C. residence while guarding it. The fracas occurred at roughly 2:30 a.m. early Wednesday morning, according to two sources in the Secret Service community.

I have no idea how to comprehend this act of incompetence. Last Friday, severe storms rolled into St. Louis. A tornado touched down and struck the northern part of the city—and there were no warning sirens. The tornado alarm system was never activated. It wasn’t due to a computer glitch. It was human error: the emergency management director, Sarah Russell, essentially forgot to turn it on, but it gets worse: the staff wasn’t even in the office. Russell contacted the fire department to initiate the system, but this was a shambolic failure

Apparently, nobody’s watching the watchmen. Private security guards hired by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to staff subway stations, and act as deterrents to would-be turnstile hoppers, have instead been lending a helping hand to the Big Apple fare-beaters. The Post recently observed Allied Universal Security Services guards inside the Herald Square station holding the emergency doors open on two different occasions to let a stream of scofflaws through. Several commuters could be seen walking up to the gate, and exchanging words with the guard, who then let them in. Whenever the guard opened the door, other fare-evaders would make a dash for it. “Whenever the gate opens, nobody wants to pay,” offered Allied Guard

President Trump went there! Trump posted a video titled, “The Video Hillary Clinton Does Not Want You to See” that documented just some of the mysterious ‘suicides’ linked to the Clinton Crime family. The video touched on the deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr., DNC staffer Seth Rich, Clinton White House Counsel Vince Foster, Clinton White House intern Mary Mahoney, and others connected to the Clintons. In July 1999, Hillary Clinton’s senate rival and front-runner for NY senate seat John F. Kennedy Jr. died in a plane crash. Mary Mahoney was a Clinton White House intern who could have been a star witness at the Clinton impeachment trials.

In the Biden era, we saw about infinity pseudo-refugees stream across the southern border from every corner of the third world. “Give us your poor, huddled masses, yearning to be free,” the Democrats chanted, as they called us callous racists for daring to suggest their professed humanitarianism was anything but.

It’s something out of the movie Airplane, but that’s the Biden administration—an epic display of either government incompetence or indifference. This crew didn’t care that Kabul was going to fall to the Taliban, leading to the shambolic exit from the country and, finally, the detached and gross reaction to the 13 American soldiers who were killed during the Abbey Gate terror attack. To this day, I don’t think a senior member of the Biden administration has called the families of these victims. Biden's reputation as Mr. Empathy took an irreparable blow.

Many pro-Israel people I know, both Jewish and non-Jewish, are deeply worried about Trump’s current Middle East positions. He’s marginalizing Israel in negotiations with Saudi Arabia, accepting on the government’s behalf a luxury plane from double-dealing Qatar, and handing money to the goons in Syria. At the same time, he’s seemingly freezing out Israel, to the great consternation of Israel and its supporters. So, what gives? Having read Charles Lipson’s superb analysis of the problems in dealing with an almost nuclear Iran, and how Biden created this monster, I suspect that “what gives” may be Trump trying an out-of-the-box approach to isolating Iran long enough for his economic policies

During a blistering Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Sen.

Kennedy, in classic fashion, drilled in with precision. “The 76-day period you’re talking about, that’s the period between the time that President Trump was elected and President Biden left office. Is that right?” “That is correct,” Wright confirmed. Kennedy didn’t mince words

Burroughs, an appointee of former President Barack Obama serving in Massachusetts, wrote in a two-page motion granting a temporary restraining order that Harvard “will sustain immediate and irreparable injury before there is an opportunity to hear from all parties.”

In its lawsuit filed earlier Friday in federal court in Boston, Harvard said the government’s action violates the First Amendment and will have an “immediate and devastating effect for Harvard and more than 7,000 visa holders.” “With the stroke of a pen, the government has sought to erase a quarter of Harvard’s student body, international students who contribute significantly to the University and its mission,” Harvard said in its suit. “Without
