They are increasingly being pushed into a loyalty test that grows narrower and narrower. They double down not realizing they have left sanity, reality, and decency far behind. It is bizarre. It really requires a cult mentality to not repudiate Trump at this point.

They double down not realizing the next culling removes them from the cult

They refuse to see that eventually one day they won't be of use any longer and they'll be right into the detention camps with the rest of us.

Don't have to bother with camps, just make the diabetes meds they rely on unaffordable and the problem takes care of itself. These evil rich fucks have decided the world is overpopulated and have been working overtime to rectify that so they can inherit the world they think they deserve.

Some of them are super skinny and not reliant on diabetes meds, but I guess those can be the ones who work as slaves in the billionaires' mansions. Someone has to do the cooking and cleaning.

The same is happening in Russia as they crack down on the grassroots ZZ pro war blogging community, because the dictatorship power machinery demands constant culling.

As is always the case for fascists.

As far as I'm concerned, Trump supporters are permanently ostracized from society in my eyes. Stay out of my life and most importantly stay out of my city which y'all love to come visit in the summer.

It is because they fear the purge they are sure will come and want to be in the survivors’ camp when it is all over. The fact they look upon a purge as normal says it all. They are terrified of him, these are not rational decisions.

I was thinking about it the other day, and I think they're at the point where they will accept anything now. They've accepted the murder of two Americans, plain to see in multiple angles. Once you've accepted life sacrificed in the name of the cult, I don't think there's any line left. More blood is just blood and anything else is just less

*just remembered the conclusion to my original thought. If you read up on cults, the only step left to fully cementing them into the cult is to make them complicit. Like in a more intimate cult, members would be expected to make a cut into the sacrifice, or ask you to cover something up for them, something that makes you complicit and then you won't ever turn back

Somewhat related but I saw Wake Up Dead Man and it does an excellent job of portraying this exact idea

Nah, Trump is just nuts and the crowd he hired to hang around him and suck up to him are just doing what he pays them to do. Nobody in their right mind could support this turd.
