Jim Jones was charismatic as Hell: When he asked all his followers to line up for cyanide KoolAid, very very few bugged out for the jungle. Like a handful. Trump is essentially the same guy. His followers are willing to die for him. (No masks and packed rallies.) They believe every tweet or statement, even if they contradict a previous one. They believe he is immune to error or the laws, like papal infallibility.

I think we have a lot of deprogramming to do over the next few years. Maybe we should just start forming group therapy sessions now. When one of them does something crazy, they get diverted into a group led by a real psychologist.

Or we can just implement the Republican solution and issue them all fake headsets, so when they wander down the street talking to the voices in their heads, people will think they are talking on their cell phones.
