YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMAGA: cult or community? Dr. Steven Hassan, cult expert and author of The Cult of Trump, responds to Rich Logis of Leaving MAGA and Anthony Davis of MeidasTouch on how people exit MAGA, why demonizing believers backfires, and why understanding brainwashing, mind control, and the BITE Model are essential to breaking authoritarian influence.
As a mental health professional with nearly 50 years helping people leave authoritarian cults, Hassan explains why “the mind can be hacked,” how psyops and social media brainwashing work across political movements, and why judgment doesn't help people leave "communities" like MAGA.
