#MAGA can’t (really) think of leaving this cult. This is my interpretation out of @aimstein’s #TerrorLoveAndBrainwashing book. It’s bc—

#FEAR —leaving their people/needing to reestablish ties; fear of negative feedback/threats; & the terror of aloneness—identity & relational loss.

#Despair

They reject their doubts, maintain ideology (#FOX) & project fear on to outside world —anything not MAGA, any marginalized other & reject the govt that supports said other, who becomes become the threat

In 1948—Hannah Arendt wrote in The Origins of Totalitarianism that ideologies are “isms that pretend to have found the key explanation for all the mysteries of life and world,” taken from @aimstein book #TerrorLoveAndBrainwashing.
As well, Stein says—ideology “rejects any knowledge of the outside world in order to CREATE A FICTITIOUS WORLD within the hermetically sealed #totalist system” and ..”DOMINATING and TERRORIZING human beings from WITHIN.”
