It’s a myth that “anyone” can get wrapped up in a cult [...] unusual dress, complicated social hierarchies, and tons of jargon

Red hats? Is MTG "in-group" sill? What is "Groyper"?

As of March 2025, about 36% of registered voters identified as MAGA.

Don't pretend for a second this can't happen to otherwise intelligent, educated people that you know. It can. It probably has. Those people are credulous, not stupid, and they found an identity.

This is a real and existential problem. Don't minimize it.
