@[url=https://mastodon.social/@ErickaSimone]Ericka Simone[/url] Cults absolutely do harm other communities. O9A just recently carried out another killing. Aum Shinrikyo is another famous example. The Branch Davidians hoarded weapons as part of their doomsday myth. [i]Most[/i] cults are harmless — even to their own members — but that isn't what makes them a cult, and there is plenty of overlap between cults and terrorist groups. MAGA, with its superstition and mythologizing around Trump and their weird brand of Christianity, as well as their bloodlust and attacks on their enemies, is definitely both.
