#TRUMP WAS NEVER HIDING 💎
The first time I heard #DonaldTrump was running for president, I knew what he was.
Not because I am politically brilliant.
Not because #Tasmania has better intelligence services.
Because he was so obviously ignorant, #malicious and downright nasty.
The boasting.
The #cruelty.
The hunger for attention.
The constant need to dominate the room and #punish anyone who would not admire him.
I had seen that #kind of man before, both in politics and in spiritual communities around the world.
What I could not understand was why so many #Americans could not see it.
Then he won.
And years later, they chose him again.
This video helps explain something deeper.
People inside #MAGA were not necessarily asking:
“What kind of man is he?”
They were asking:
“Is he on our side?”
“Will he hurt the #people we resent?”
“Will he restore the #country we believe we have lost?”
“Will he make us feel #powerful again?”
Once loyalty becomes identity, character stops mattering.
Cruelty becomes #strength.
#Ignorance becomes authenticity.
Shamelessness becomes #courage.
Every warning becomes proof that the leader is threatening the right people.
#America did not fail to see Trump because he concealed himself.
Trump concealed almost nothing.
Many people saw him clearly and decided his ugliness might work on their behalf.
That is the part worth understanding.
This #video is valuable because it shows how painful it can be to leave once a political movement has become your #family, your meaning, your explanation and your identity.
People rarely leave an #illusion because they have been defeated or humiliated.
They leave when the #story stops holding together, and someone gives them enough dignity to admit it.

"Steven Hassan developed the BITE Model© [Behavior, Information, Thought, and Emotional control] to describe cults’ specific methods to recruit and maintain control over people
...
Not every group or relationship uses every one of these. Some are universal such as deception (Information control), indoctrinating people to distrust critics and former members, or installing phobias to make people afraid of questioning or leaving."

"Matthew published a book in 2019 titled "Practice and All is Coming: Abuse, Cult Dynamics and #Healing in #Yoga and Beyond".
In many ways, this book holds the keys to how 1/3 of the team has tackled the #conspirituality era. Derek and Julian interview their colleague about it all on the occasion of the release of a 2nd edition, now titled: "Surviving #ModernYoga: #CultDynamics, Charismatic Leaders, and What #Survivors Can Teach Us"." -
