      Some people are so powerless they will believe in some way that a idea will save them and people like them. They're powerless, or believe they are, to change the world around them and dream of something that will change every thing for the better for them.

      This is obvious in Cults from belief in a god will save them after they die or during their life, which is very rare, or change the world for the better. This is the reason people believe in Allah, Jesus, Buddah etc and even Communism or the extreme who believe in the EU will make their lives better.

      Some believe the world will be so much better when robots take over and supply everything for free. That's because they can't get those things themselves. Which is the common denominator of cultist. The only people who get what they want are the ones who get it for themselves and don't wait for others to deliver it.

        They join because they are sad, lonely individuals of low intellect. Who need someone to tell them what to think and what to do. They have zero ambition, zero friends and zero chance of making anything of their lives without the help of their cult leader.

          Nobody's wanting to be somebody join colts.

          Trump supporters join the redhat cult because they want to be part of a worldwide movement to take rights aways from vast segments of the population thus elevating them higher above other groups of people they've been brainwashed to believe are inferior.

          They all are lonely. Most are geriatric. Most are morbidly obese and all have extremely low self esteem, which gets slightly elevated from joining the red hat cult.

                    What is your God? What do you believe in? Is your heart strong enough for infinite emptiness?

                            If you haven't seen it, watch Wild Wild West on Netflix. It's a documentary series about the Bagwan Rashneesh here in Oregon. He started a cult in India then moved it to the US and it grew from being a few dozen people to being several thousand, taking over a city, and nearly taking over a county.

                            A lot of the people joined that because the cult offered them a seemingly Utopian society. If you come to live on the commune, you get a place to stay, food to eat, clothes to wear, everyone is into free love so you get laid and all you have to do is be cool and do the job they assign you to. It sounded great to a lot of people then once they got into it they found it it wasn't what they thought it was hard to leave.

                                  People get sucked in. Some people are looking for something, and when someone tells them the right things.... they fall for it.

                                        is that why you decided to stop being a marine and started acting like a 14 year old girl spreading lies, innuendo and nasty rumors as facts?
