Are Trump Supporters “Cultists?”

Let’s not get too carried away here. Essentially nothing has changed, even with the recent news.

Many rich people, especially those heavily invested in Big Oil, are making money beyond their wildest dreams.  They don’t care that the consumption of fossil fuels is destroying the planet, and why should they?  They’re going to be dead before the collapse of the environment affects them, and the Ebeneezer Scrooges of the world couldn’t possibly care about anyone but themselves.

Most poorly educated working class white Americans are thrilled that Donald Trump is taking over the world’s resources, installing himself as our county’s first dictator, and kicking ass on people of color, women, LGBTQs, immigrants, and other desperately poor people. They may be vaguely aware that they themselves will not profit one thin dime by this, but that doesn’t matter one iota, since Trump is punishing the people they hate.

The idea that Trump is a war criminal means exactly nothing.

Fortunately for this planet, most people in the rest of the developed world despise Trump and may be likely to forgive the United States once this moral catastrophe is over.
