Compare and contrast anyone?

Let's please keep it civil towards each other.

I have Trumpist and ADHD relatives, and believe it or not, have some sympathy towards all human beings trying to get through life with them.

The degree may vary on many factors, obviously.

Trumpism is a cult and should be addressed like you are dealing with someone who is in a cult. That is really the only thing that will work.

As for ADHD. That can manifest in alot of different ways. One aspect is a person can fixate on a particular topic from stamp collecting to conspiracy theories. So it might make them more susceptible but that is the only connection I can see.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I'll probably regret this, but is the cult leader in any way akin to the parent of a child with potentially dangerous characteristics?

@MistyCee Pretty much. The dynamic of most cult leaders and their followers definitely parallels the most toxic parent/child dynamics. Like to the point of inducing Stockholm Syndrome.
