re: “Trump supporters are in a cult” — who said it?

quote:

They aren't talking to us. They are keeping their base whipped into a frenzy. HHTM and his types are watching Scarborough and Maddow and saying "mmmmhmmmmm" and "they'll get him" and "he's dead meat now". It's fairly effective, too, as you can see. Biden is utterly senile and was thrown out of the Presidential race in the past for minor transgressions, but now "Joe is saving us / Don is going to jail" keeps those folks tuned in to MSNBC and going to the polls. It is indeed a cult.

Irony?

DJT is doing this too. He's keeping old fires burning because it makes his core supporters rabid with glee. I think the assumption is the same for both - it keeps enthusiasm up. I think Trump assumes that DeSantis people or others he takes shots at for no reason will eventually vote for him regardless, and that's probably true.
