“[Cult] members learn a new vocabulary that is designed to constrict their thinking into absolute, black-and-white, thought-stopping clichés that conform to group ideology. (“Lock her up” and “Build the Wall” are Trumpian examples. Even his put-downs and nicknames—Crooked Hillary, Pocahontas for Elizabeth Warren—function to block other thoughts. Terms like “deep state” and “globalist” also act as triggers. They rouse emotion and direct attention.)”

“When we're so caught up in a culture of consumerism [and that is precisely what network marketing is, consumption as a cult] images of people smiling in cars, happy homes and holidays, triggers deep feelings of insecurity.”
