Want to Understand the Modern Democrat Party? Look no Further than Apocalyptic Cults
Apocalyptic cults provide a window on some amazing complex group dynamics. First, of course is the “apocalyptic” part. This is what they are best known for — the world is going to end next Tuesday or the aliens will be arriving the first of the month to take the chosen to space heaven, or a hundred other crazed ideas.
The cults preach that the only way to “escape this impending doom is by joining the group, adhering to its leader’s teachings, and following its prescribed rituals.”
For the Democrat party, the most recent apocalyptic tale is of course the horrors of climate change. A few decades ago, it was the world was going to end in an overpopulated gigantic snowball and now it has gone 180° and the world is going to end in an underpopulated boiling desert.
Trump is like the gift that keeps giving in this area. Everything Trump does — or even considers — is a coming apocalypse that must be fought to save us all.
But regardless of the current impending doom, the Democrat party is the only solution to stave off the end of everything. Power, money, freedom, your children — all must be granted to the government to save us.
As a side note, notice how it is always implicitly assumed they will be running this government for all time? I guess this is their not-so-subtle message that if they aren’t, the apocalypse will come and get us all. So vote D forever! At least if you want to live.
One of the most incredible features of apocalyptic cults is what happens to them when their prediction of doom — or aliens — doesn’t happen. When the world doesn’t end next Tuesday.
I think most rational people would guess that would be the end of the cult — with members slinking off in self-disgust that they ever believed such claptrap and its leader(s) falling from grace, never to be heard from again.
Nope. Not remotely. When the prediction of doom doesn’t happen, they only become more certain of their cause! Being completely and utterly wrong only makes them believe even more!
