Killing the Cult of Trump + A Conversation With Dr. Steven Hassan
Summary
Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Dr. Steven Hassan, mental health expert, founder of the Freedom of Mind Resource Center, and author of several books, including The Cult of Trump. A former cult member turned leading authority on cults and authoritarian control, Dr. Hassan, walks us through how these tactics are being used to manipulate the American public and consolidate Trump’s power. From Supreme Court justices acting as ideological enforcers to mass deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, he explains how psychological warfare, religious extremism, and strategic mind control are shaping the political landscape. Drawing chilling parallels to past authoritarian regimes, this episode sounds the alarm and offers a path to reach those caught in the MAGA movement.
