We all agree that Trump is a real problem for our society. An even greater threat are his cult members.

How do we deprogram them before the election? How do we mitigate what has been unleashed? Any psychiatrists or others out there with suggestions of what can be done?

They are lost causes and so far gone they’re not going to return to sanity anytime soon.

A few may double and triple down.

But over time the more bad truth that hits the cult, the cult numbers will go down.

So it is important for the media to tell the truth about Trump.

And for Dems as well.
Keep telling the truth about Trump.

We just keep peeling off the cult members, one by one.

ETA I think some of the disgusting details from the hush money trial will
hit some of the cult in a negative way.

Think. Again.
