These videos are a dime a dozen on youtube. Sure they may be cherry picked encounters but there are SOOOO many very similar encounters in so many other videos with MAGAs who are just clearly not in touch with reality.

"Trump is still president". "Trump is in charge of the military". No matter how the absurdity of their statements is pointed out to them, nothing shakes their cultish belief in Trump. They say so many things that are clearly false and easily disproved. Nothing shakes their faith in their guru.

I've been listening to a podcast about the Moonies cult. The similarities are striking.
