It is now crystal clear to them that they got in just under the wire, this never would have happened in the current administration. These things will have an effect. #deprogramming
Data point: a friend's stepdad is very sick, was owed VA benefits that he couldn't figure out how to get. My friend engaged the bureaucracy, found everyone very helpful, and secured a much needed $$ benefit.
The stepdad and my friend's mom have been deep down the Fox News rabbit hole for years. It is now crystal clear to them that they got in just under the wire, this never would have happened in the current administration.
These things will have an effect.
Thom Hartmann has an expert on cults on who wrote "The Cult of Trump." Forward by George Conway.
He's a former Moonie.
He's urging people to not argue with Trump cult members. Instead, ask questions so they begin some self-reflection. "They can exit. They have doubts."
"We need to reach out to these folks. Not putting them down. Not calling them names. But reminding them of who they were before; asking questions in a respectful way."
"As i mentioned in the book ... Trump uses hypnotic methodology" "Trump uses this method to elicit emotions and for repeating, over and over again, lies, and the brain starts acting as if it's true, if that's the only source of information people are getting. Trump projects his own bad behavior onto his opponents, so he misdirects peoples' attention."
"Don't attack Trump directly, the doctrine, the policy, directly because that elicits the cult identity defense system. Talk to them about Chinese communist brainwashing techniques, and also about pimps and traffickers, and how they groom, recruit, and indoctrinate people. And then ask people questions.
"Tell me more. Tell me how you make sense of this. Would you ever consider leaving? What criteria would you need?"
They will say no, I would never consider. Then you can ask them hypothetical questions.
"What if you're a religious person, and you pray, and you determine Jesus doesn't want Trump elected. Would you follow what God wants for you, and your conscience, or would you continue to do what everyone in your circle is doing?"
"And the thing is, don't try to persuade them. Ask them questions that make them self-reflect because people will exit themselves, if it's done properly."
Maybe we should all read this book.
This Twin Flames Universe is so fucked up that I canāt believe anyone would fall for it. But then we are all looking for love and community and scammers and frauds and cults abuse that. Iām trying to come up with ways to combat that online, maybe some form of meme war? Iāll let it percolate a bit more, Iām sure Iāll come up with something. #TwinFlames #TwinFlameUniverse #EscapingTwinFlames #MemeWar #deprogramming #cults #transandnonbinaryrightsarehumanrights #tfu
Dear Friends and #City #Zens and friends, :ablobsunglasses:
As we may #know, it is the job of government to allow us to:
- #Live not fight and die
- #Provide #infrastructure for #Citizens
Do they? :ablobblastoff:
- Well resources for war is not science or peace dividend
- Killing our environment is not helpful (did you notice) :netkitty:
#Fortunately #citizens the #world over are #deprogramming, turning off, #tuning in to a #higher #idealisation and acting accordingly.
Pursue, Persist and Prevail :ablobdancer:
Hillary Clinton says Trump supporters may need to be ādeprogrammedā

"ā¦maybe there needs to be a formal #deprogramming of the #cult membersā¦
It's a classic tale of an #authoritarian #populist who really has a grip on the #emotional, #psychological needs and desires of a portion of the population and the base of the #RepublicanPartyā¦his, you know, very negative, nasty form of politics resonates with them. Maybe they don't like migrants. Maybe they don't like gay people or black people or the woman who got the promotion at workā¦"
Clinton calls for 'formal deprogramming' of MAGA 'cult members'

Not the #Cyberpunk proper, being written back in 1975, but fucking close. And still extremely to the point even some fifty years later. It feels so damn contemporary I couldn't believe it had been written so long ago.
(I only checked the publishing date after I finished the book) šÆ

#Brainwashing as a psychological concept is brainwashing itself: it doesn't exist and prevents us from thinking out of the box concepts we accept as "the #norm". šÆ
Great 22min #video to watch and learn how brainwashing was used to actually manipulate the perception of the masses. š¤Æ
I helped make this :D
My incredible musician friends and I are ex-cult members and this is a love letter to being in our own skin after the deprogramming.
