MAGA is not a “cult.”
Cults rarely move to harm other communities. Cults lean into self-harm, removal of autonomy and extreme isolation from others. Above all else, one of the most defining characteristics of cults is, sadly, the mass su*cide of cult members if and when their rule is threatened.
Jonestown was a cult. The ones who put on fresh nikes to head to the comet? Cult.
MAGA is White American terrorist group/gang, and we need to call it what it is. Because it’s dangerous at this point.
