Watch the HBO cult doc series "The Vow", about Keith Raniere and ESP - NXIVM. Reveals a lot about the tRump cult.

There are so many parallels in it.

Cults and pyramid schemes operate using the same mechanisms; need, greed and mind control via manipulation of language (NLP).

I highly recommend it.

Let Us Prey is a really good one about christo-fascists.

So many of the nxivm cult are right wingers and tRump aficionados.

I'll check out Let Us Pray.

The second season on the trials and evidence is particularly so.
