Will the current Qanons do a Heaven Gate or Jonestown solution??

[Peacetrain]

when their current God Trump.. keeps failing to bring down the world..??

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonestown

I mean I have lost count of the number of times, people have embraced the crazy as truth.. the irrational as rational (think Charles Manson)

What is it about the human experience that people embrace the irrational.. and it is not just in the United States.. it is world wide..

It seems to be a failing in our own ability to separate truth from fiction.

Reading about the rallies for Trump.. Good grief.. here we go again..

1. One can only hope.

2. They will never admit that they have done anything wrong

We will have to keep reminding them

[dalton99a]

3. They are too lazy for that

[Jirel]

4. Doubtful, but we can hope.

Maybe their version will be STILL refusing to vaccinate after a new COVID strain.

6. Only if we are really fucking lucky.

7. Some people around the world seem to...

... want a "strong leader" that they can worship.

If Trump openly declared himself a GOD (which honestly wouldn't surprise me given his extreme narcissism), he'd still have many followers.

There's been people treated like Gods throughout history -- Egyptian pharaohs, various kings, etc.

Right-wing authoritarian (RWA) personality is so bizarre to me that I can't even imagine thinking that way, but it's definitely a real phenomena.

I'd like to know how it has survived evolutionary selection for so long, but it's probably because RWA's killed the non-RWA's that they encountered!

16. Buckeye, there is a symptom of narcissism that is the God Complex.

I left Facebook in 2016 when many of my friends were posting pictures of Trumps with God hands spread out around him, Trump with a halo,etc. It made me sick to think that we were people I knew and they were looking at Trump as the Second Coming of Christ after the 2016 election. I left Facebook and never went back.To me Trump was as far away from Jesus as you can get and these "friends" were making him out to be the Messiah. Wrong. terribly wrong. And this was in 2016 that people were doing this. It is not a recent thing.

8. No, they will come after the traitors who brought their god down.

[DBoon]

9. I think they will do a "bunker in Berlin" solution

Kill themselves after they have destroyed everything else

[librechik]

10. hopes and prayers n/t

11. They are nuts. Do you see the "preacher" yesterday at a rally in PA?

12. trump's cult are fanatics. They are armed & being groomed to hate "the others" - anyone

not like them: Democrats, people of color, people of different faiths, different of sexual orientation, etc. trump is pushing for violence, and his cult members are listening.

If they do a "jonestown or Heavensgate" that's their own suicide. BUT trump is pushing violence on "the others". That's what I'm terrified of: places of worship, community centers, grocery stores.

Jim Jones commanded some followers to fire upon and kill/wound rescuers. That was shocking and horrific, but it appears that trump is looking for mass killings. His cult members are waiting his commands.

He continues to hold rallies to keep the Genni Thomas true believers cult members motivated and fired up.

13. One can wish!

[Blue Owl]

14. Seems to be trending that direction

[48656c6c6f20]

15. Don't tease me

[VGNonly]

17. Why don't you hear jokes

about Jonestown any more?

The punchline is too long.

[Hekate]

18. They direct their violence outward -- more's the pity

[FakeNoose]

19. Chump needs to have a rally here - it will be wild!
