This is literally how cults work. A “charismatic leader” (in their eyes) tells them what they want to hear or hits a nerve that causes an intensely personal reaction that makes them feel like they’ve found someone who understands them, then sells them on propaganda that is repeated over & over again (notice how Dump just repeats his lies in 50 different ways over & over & over until he shifts to a new lie? That’s very deliberate on his part & is actually textbook Russian propaganda techniques that have been studied academically - is also how Nazism spread). They get positive reinforcement & a sense of community from like-minded individuals, isolated from others with conflicting beliefs, mistrust & fear are embedded in them systematically (the evil Democrats coming to get your guns & indoctrinate your children as gay, transgender etc) & that’s it. They’re part of a cult 🤷♀️ And until the leader betrays them in a way that is also intensely personal (a lot in religious cults balk when the leader chooses their wife or child to sleep with or marry), or the inconsistencies & contradictions start building up enough to crack their blind belief, or the cult starts embracing ideas that are too far for even them to believe, they’re lost to the cult. We actually need systematic deprogramming of these people, but it needs to be done carefully via the same media that they get their brainwashing from & they can’t know about it or they’ll reject it. That, or individuals need to be rescued & professionally deprogrammed. Or... we wait for the inevitable downfall of Dump & now De Satanist. But a huge amount of damage is still being done by these people to America. And to be honest, the implosion that’s on the horizon if Dump does finally get held accountable for his crimes or he dies, is going to destabilise America even more. I know this probably sounds just as paranoid as these people, but I really wonder how much America’s enemies are driving this through social media?
As to the mental illness aspect - I suspect those who are mentally ill are more susceptible to this kind of brainwashing. Also those who are religious. They’ve been brought up being indoctrinated in specific beliefs & being told not to question too much but to “take it on faith” 🤷♀️
