Trumpism is just Scientology done as politics instead of religion.

scientology is also a scam. they are the same. manipulation of people for money and power.

the guy who created scientology was a sci fi writer who actually declared he was going to create a religion for monetary reasons, and then did so.

Yes, both are cults.

Credit where credit is due, at least scientologists are the better educated of the bunch. Fuck them both, though.

Yes, with more idiots in the congregation.

I mean it's also pretty damn religious too

Immigrants being roughly equivalent to thetans in their theology, yeah that checks out

Personally, I don’t really feel that scientology is particularly worse than other religions. So you could just say that Trump supporters are more religious than political, really. Though, I don’t think that’s unique to Trump supporters, really - modern politics really is a lot more like a sort of religious thing rather than about the actual policy for a lot of people.
