The Trump Effect - Deprogramming the American mind.

Excerpt:

 “The Trump effect,” Jarvik begins, “is the deprogramming of the American mind, and Trump is the Deprogrammer-in-Chief.” Since the traumatic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Jarvik notes, “Americans have somehow been programmed, indoctrinated, sort of fed a lot of fantasy ideology, whether it’s in schools, whether in the media, whether in politics,” and the brainwashing and fear induced by this PC totalitarianism is similar to being immersed in a cult. The process of breaking free from its grip is not unlike the process whereby a cult follower is deprogrammed.

Jarvik is hopeful that Trump can break this spell; indeed, he is already doing it. “The techniques Trump is using are the same techniques used by deprogrammers,” he argues. “First they have to discredit the cult leader… [Trump] did it with the Clintons and the Bushes, and he did it with President Obama.”

No, Trump is not himself a cult leader.

No kidding...the public schools and PC universities have done the deprogramming. Trump was just a byproduct.

There is a point to be made, but not in the same way the author intended. This can be compared to what Peter Popoff did to the faith healing scams. Popoff was one of the worst faith healers yet people followed him with cult like devotion and for a very short time, made faith healing the pop culture 'in' thing of the day.

Then he was exposed as a complete fraud and people lost faith in televangelist faith healers in droves.

Much the same can be said for Trump. He is a big, centralized government authoritarian and many on the right follow him like a cult leader. And, they are slowly learning the lesson not to trust big centralized government as his utter incompetence and demagogy is showing the harm that can come when you put too much faith in a centralized authority/government/man.

This may be the biggest positive to come from the Rump presidency- people completely are distrustful of putting to much power and faith in a centralized government or charismatic leader.
