    It’s not just like how people created cults, it’s the exact same recipe. They are cults. I have a friend who is obsessed with true crime podcasts about cults, like, listened to the final recordings of the Jonestown massacre where you can hear people dying from cyanide poisoning in the background obsessed, and he was recently telling me how both Trump and Hitler’s speeches sound exactly like Jim Jones.

      Can confirm. I’m currently listening to Transmissions From Jonestown and had this very same thought the other day. I haven’t heard many Hitler speeches but the rambling cadence of Jones and Trump are eerily similar.
