"6. Jim Jones exaggerated and manufactured enemies and crises (“never let a crisis go to waste”), and then preyed on people’s desperation, gullibility, fear, good-intentions, insecurities, and lack of discernment. He even staged a fake assassination attempt where he pretended to be shot by an assassin (complete with blood-stained shirt riddled by bullet holes), and then faked a miraculous healing from his wounds."

1. So after Harris and Walz are inaugurated. . .

. . .Trump and his inner circle might retreat to Mar-a-Lago and drink the Kool-aid?

Who knows? It could be the narcissist injury that breaks him, but I doubt it. He'll just keep declaring victory all the way too the hoosegow.

On edit: Of course, both DT and Jones certainly are textbook malignant narcissists.

2. I'd suggest people attending his rallies avoid the refreshment stands.

You never know what's going to be in those drinks these days.

3. yeah, um, this bible study website also says..

"The People’s Temple, led by Jones, is a very helpful, accurate, and necessary illustration of Marxism and its historical and progressive encroachment of evil."
