Dr. Hassan, I really appreciate what your model you are offering. My whole family is in MAGA and when I reflect back I can't think of a time when their thinking was different than that of the current administration (save for one aunt who used to be a democrat). It feels so hopeless sometimes.

I work with people born in cults, so your question highlights the fact that there needs to be a customized approach to help . I invite you to read Combating Cult Mind Control and then my book, Freedom of Mind- Empowering Loved Ones from Controlling Cults, People and Beliefs

So grateful to all these men. I do want to say to that it’s hard for people to forgive those who enabled him, even a tiny bit. I’m a Dem who won’t curse you for your mistake. I get that you have plenty of reasons to be angry. They aren’t understanding all of the dynamics that swept you up in this. But don’t curse then for their mistake, maybe? Just a thought.
