      Yes. That’s how cults work.

        Mormonism survived the death of their first leader.

          That is patently false. Mormonism splintered when John Smith died and there was a lot of infighting over leadership. Like it’s easy to check with the least effort.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succession_crisis_(Latter_Day_Saints)

          The only reason it survived was that Brigham Young was charismatic and managed to keep it together. Who’s gonna do the same for MAGA?

            Nothing I said was false, your own comment confirmed it. I didn’t say Trump will have a replacement for maga, but the precedence is set. It’s possible they’ll keep going. If not exactly maga they’ll still be awful ignorant people.

          The Mormons are mobsters disguised as a religion. Not the same thing. It’s a lot harder to find a true believer Mormon than a true believer MAGAt.

            I grew up mormon, it’s full of true believers. I do hope they implode soon though, they can only change the story so many times.

              I grew up around Mormons and currently live in one of the Mormoniest places on earth. There definitely are true believers to be found at the bottom of the pyramid. Otherwise, most of the ones I worked with knew damn well it is a racketeering scheme, and they’re playing along.

                That I believe. I’ve never dealt with anyone above the stake (area) level. I can only imagine trying to keep the belief while knowing more stuff than they tell the masses.

      Yep. It’ll splinter into factions. Tear itself apart with infighting.
