The cult is a special case where the person is made to identify with the lie, then they embrace it even if they do know it's untrue because to reject it is to reject themselves too.

gnutelephony (gnutelephony@floss.social)'s status on Tuesday, 28-Nov-2023 19:03:20 JST gnutelephony @Eka_FOOF_A white America is a racist cult that people already identify with the lies that it tells to itself. The person I am talking about is not part of white America, not even white, and will now never vote for Biden, either.
