>>They want a cult of idiots to enable their power.

There is something about cults that doesn't make me want to join in. I just don't get that whole belonging and membership thing. Is it the unwavering belief despite objective facts to the contrary, or the willful self-destruction? Not sure - neither appeals to me.

Jim Jones
Heaven's Gate
Branch Davidians
Ruby Ridge
Mormon Fundamentalists

Republicans

They all seem to end begin with some set of male charismatic leaders with whom all hopes and dreams are placed, and ending with literal or metaphoric "drinking of the Kool-Aid".

Who could ever look at their DementedCrimeBoss and see their dreams being delivered by him?
