  • Is the leader alive or not? Alive is likely a cult, dead is usually religion.

    The next question is how isolated from friends and family or society at large are the members. More isolated is more likely to be a cult.

    Other than that, there’s not much difference.

    The usual setup is a cult is formed and then the second or third leader opens things up a bit and transitions it into just another religion… But sometimes a cult can be born from a religion as a small group breaks off to follow a charismatic leader.




  • Pretty much the exact same except that Hitler was a hardened war veteran, and Trump has been a conman all his life. Most of Trump’s cons were stupid and failed, but never quite hard enough for him to ever see consequences.

    Hitler also went to prison for his coup attempt. It was a daycare style prison, but he still went.

    Other than that, the similarities are striking. Likely because the only book that Trump in known to have read, is a copy of all of Hitler’s speeches.
