Saying a person is in a cult doesn't imply in any way that the person is less than human.

...

We see people in a cult as being very human - and they can be deprogrammed.

Absolutely. I have resisted saying it, but I'm grudgingly coming to the point where I will have no choice. They exhibit all the hallmarks of a cult (like Scientology, the FLDS, etc). We want to try to rescue them, not dehumanize them. Getting out of a cult is difficult, and a very serious thing. I don't want to trivialize it.

Hopefully, when Trump expires his heirs won't inherit the cult. It will just fade away. But, frankly, Don Jr would be stupid to let that happen if he can avoid it. It could generate lots of money for him. L Ron Hubbard is gone, but his monstrosity of a cult remains.
