But Trump said he did, and his Cult believes every single lie.

@windinhishair That’s the thing, the man known internationally for being an inveterate liar, can say anything and still be believed—without question—by his followers. Pretty much a cult by definition.

@bijouxbroussard That's exactly why I began calling them a Cult around 2017. His followers were no longer supporters or even fanatics by that point. And I shudder to think how much violence they will commit when Trump is indicted later this year. But if we still have a democracy, and believe no one is above the law, then he must be indicted for his crimes.
