Frank Figliuzzi, a national security analyst for MSNBC, told Deadline on Monday that followers of former President Donald Trump are members of a “very disturbing” cult with the death toll.
Figliuzzi said, “When you combine the characteristics of a cult with all the ornaments of a religion, you are faced with a very variable and dangerous scenario. I often refer to the MAGA movement as a cult of sorts, but if you watch this rally in Youngstown, Ohio and take Trump out of the video, listen and watch the audio of the rally’s final moments. . crowd, such a word, that one-finger gesture, arms raised to the sky, you might think you are in the last minute of gospel worship in a mad megachurch. The only thing missing is the altar call at the end. There is a very disturbing kind of religiosity here.”
He continued: “When you do that, you get people who are willing to sacrifice their souls and their lives because it is no longer about politics. It’s about where they’ve gone forever, and if you’ve convinced people that this is this person, the one you should adore and adore, because your soul and the soul of the nation are at stake, then you’re at a dead end. very dangerous place. the situation if he is deprived of power by impeachment or forfeiting another election. This is getting very dangerous.”
Figliuzzi added: “This combination of religion and cult status leads people to become martyrs themselves. We have Trump’s death toll. I wrote a column for MSNBC every day about it, where I started counting the people who died, from the person who walked into the FBI field office in Cincinnati to those who were killed in the capital on Jan. He died for his beliefs. It is more than a cult. It has a very disturbing religious aspect. ”
