Today we are deep diving on cults, specifically the political cults destroying our country.
Dr. Joe Sansone is a licensed psychotherapist specializing in clinical hypnosis and wrote the book Psychopathic Authoritarianism: A Disease Of The Soul. He was a medical freedom warrior and an expert the modern day psychological operations shaping our minds, culture and our world .
In his latest must-read piece, ‘Mass Media Facilitated Political Cults,’ Dr. Sansone breaks down how mainstream media and propaganda machines manufacture dangerous political cults and personality cults that thrive on cognitive dissonance, fear, identity politics, and blind devotion.
He explores classic warning signs of cults—drawn from the Cult Education Institute—including authoritarian control, intolerance for questions, isolation from outsiders, and the refusal to accept contradictory evidence. Sansone applies this lens to modern examples: apocalyptic climate change hysteria, certain Zionist movements driving reckless foreign policy, QAnon-style operations, Obama’s media-fueled rise, and the ongoing Trump personality cult (and its inverse anti-Trump backlash).
He unpacks how media-generated hype, emotional manipulation, and “lesser of two evils” framing keep people locked in rigid thinking, even as policies betray core principles like America First. This is a powerful call to reclaim critical thinking, reject the cult-like trance of modern politics, and recognize when devotion to a person, party, or ideology crosses into dangerous territory.
