On Thursday, Vanity Fair published an interview with former cultist Steven Hassan detailing how to “anti-brainwash” Trump supporters while advocating for “massive Education” involving schools, mental health professionals, law enforcement, the media, politicians and intelligence agencies, Breitbart News reported.
Hassan, author of “The Cult of Trump,” describes his past as a former member of the Unification Church.
Hassan discusses the “Fourth Generation War,” which he describes as “psychological warfare designed to confuse, confound, numb, and delegitimize leaders and institutions.
He compared Trump to famous cult leaders.
“I compare Donald Trump to Jim Jones and L. Ron Herbert of Scientology, and to Moon, who is the leader of a cult that I was in for two and a half years,” he said. He said.
Despite admitting he is not a licensed psychiatrist, Hassan attempted to provide a diagnosis for Trump.
Hassan portrayed Trump senior as an abusive “dictator.
Hassan also applauded the cessation of Trump’s social media accounts, saying that people need to be “protected.
“When people ask me if it’s a good thing that Trump was kicked off Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, I answer emphatically – yes.”
Hassan also stated his assessment that Trump’s hardcore supporters number in the tens of millions.
He stated, “I think we’re probably looking at 10 million to 30 million [hardcore Trump supporters].” The interviewer questioned how exactly that much “anti-brainwashing” could be done.
In presenting his “solution,” Hassan suggested using “mass education,” but did not specify exactly who would decide what would be appropriate for such a program and how it would be conducted.
“It seems to me that the solution to this incredibly intense polarization that we’re experiencing is mass education,” he said.
In criticizing the “biased” conservative media, Hassan went on to place blame on specific media outlets.
He directly named Fox News and Breitbart News.
Hassan then called for “a massive effort to reach, connect and educate” people.
When it comes to “powerful agents” of anti-brainwashing, Hassan lists Family and friends as ideal candidates.
Hassan then suggested recruiting a variety of institutions to participate in the initiative.
“We need more formal education in schools,” Hassan added.” We need to train mental health professionals. We need to train law enforcement. We need to teach the media. We need to teach politicians.”
Hassan also wants intelligence agencies to make public statements declaring that good people can be “radicalized” and “made into killers,” and he suggested that the agencies also explain how they do that.
Earlier this week, Hassan appeared on CNN and said that “all of America needs to be anti-brainwashed” because of the negative impact of President Trump.
In the wake of the November presidential election and the storming of the U.S. Capitol earlier this month, the concept of “anti-brainwashing” of Trump supporters has been fiercely promoted by the left in recent days.
In a recent video promoted by the left, citizens are called upon to become internet detectives to monitor and report Trump supporters to authorities.
The clip states.
“The greatest threat to America today comes from within: radical ultra-conservatives, also known as domestic terrorists. They hide among us, disguised behind normal work. They are the teachers of your children. They work in supermarkets, malls, doctors’ offices, and many are police officers and soldiers.”
The video has since received more than 4 million views.
Last week, Washington Post columnist and MSNBC contributor Eugene Robinson called Trump supporters “cult members” who need to be “anti-brainwashed.
“There are millions of Americans, almost all white, almost all Republican, who need to be anti-brainwashed to some degree,” Robinson said.” It’s like they’re members of a cult, a Trumpist cult, and they need to be anti-brainwashed.”
