After learning more about cult strategies, I see now that the people of Jonestown were murdered by a mentally ill narcissist. They were victims of a murderer.
Often, I have thought about the similarities between Jones and Trump and their followers/hanger-on's. Anyone, and I mean anyone, who cannot/will not see and fear how much alike the conditions are, and the potential end should have a second and more serious look or seek professional help.
Like Jim Jones, I believe he would also have people with guns preventing anyone from escaping. But I also do not believe Trump would go with them. He'd empty their wallets and step over their bodies to leave.
I've been saying this for years. Most of the base would definitely drink the kool-aid. The rich ones wouldn't. They'd grab their money and run. They're the ones I despise.
What most people don't realize is that the majority of people in that compound didn't WANT to drink the Kool Aid. They were forced to. The problem here is that most MAGATs are willingly dunking their heads in the punch bowl.
Well,now we can see if it happens in America. Let’s see how many blind fools there are in America that would follow in that mentally unhinged lunatic dementia ridden psychopath lame duck 34 time convicted felon convicted rapist footsteps if he tells them too,we know their drinking the Kool-Aid NOW!!
Jim Jones was a grub and a mass murderer. At least he killed himself along with his followers. Donald Trump won’t go down for anyone. He is prepared to use anyone and anything to increase his personal power and wealth.
Yes I was raised during this era of Cults I learned early that being a blind follower is self destructive. lol wasn’t my personality to follow 💙💙💙🪖🪖🪖🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Problem is with this cult, they voted for a psycho rapist dementia ridden, pathological, liar, insurrectionist, whose out of his goddamn mind and we’re stuck with him! When you kill yourself? It’s just you that is dead. We have to sit back and wait to see what he’s gonna do!
Well Jones isolated his ppl in the jungle so they couldn't leave, and held them at gunpoint when they resisted the cyanide. They understood he'd been going downhill for a while
Don't forget that many didn't want to, so they got suicided by enforcers. The evidence in the aftermath was overwhelming. In the current case, the R Party has collected self-interested grifters who are afraid of being primaried. That's the shoot-em-dead analogy. Liz Chaney, Adam Kinzinger, ...
Good history teaching should mean you understand MAGAS and see tRump for what he is because of Jim Jones. Our past should prevent making the same mistakes.
As Trump’s cognitive ability crumbles daily, he will demand increasing loyalty from his followers. To-the-death-loyalty characterized the members of the Jim Jones Cult. Many did not want to drink the poison, but they had no way to escape, and 909, including 300 children, were killed that day. 1/2
No Fucking Way. Respect is earned. You think rolling over and offering a belly gets them redemption? After the shit they have pulled on this country? Let them turn to the people who brought them here. Their elected leaders who spoke for them. The best MAGAT is one with a rag shoved in their mouth.
I have never understood it. Jones was a cult. Trump is nothing like Jones. BUT you still have MAGA. A cult stupid to a fault, blindly loyal to a life long crook.
I lived in San Francisco 76-79. One Sunday I was riding my bike through Golden Gate Park and came upon the cult/church having a picnic. I was waved down and invited to join them which I declined.
I am reluctant to generalize but most were poor, racial minorities & happy humble people.
I did make eye contact with Jones, or rather he with me. Some people are just gullible simpletons, highly malleable and susceptible to manipulation. It is a moment that will always haunt me. Very sad.

I just accept it!

Did you rechamber an AK-47 to 12GA or are you running 7.62mm bird shot?
I'm so confused...
Now to load your drum mags with something like this, because if you're gonna go crazy, you might as well go bat-shit-crazy.

A machine, is a machine, is a machine. Different machines have different jobs for different circumstances.
Whether it is a gun, a car or an electric can opener makes no difference.
But I assume that a snowflake liberal is 12 meals away from an incompetent barbarian.
And it just got worst by religious lunatics infiltrating the Supreme Court.
Those Judges will literally kill thousands of people with their racists, unjust, misogynistic laws.
That being said, they should have been smart enough to get out before they relocated to Jonestown.
