@Annacats Omg, what a beautiful little creature. Reminds me a bit of our stray we took in. He was shy at first, but after only a few weeks he became the most cuddly cat ever.

@rasterweb
Let's apply the 4 pillars of cult control to MAGA in rural America
BEHAVIOR: Church & social circles dictate the norm. Non-conformity leads to social shunning.

INFORMATION: A sealed bubble. Fox News & local radio filter reality; external facts are labeled as "lies."

THOUGHT: Dogma over logic. God, Country, and "Leader" merge. Doubt is framed as betrayal.

EMOTION: Fear of the "other" vs. the pride of the "moral elite."

Manipulation isn't about intelligence—it's about isolation. ◤

@streetartutopia such a moving image
