Trump, Tucker Carlson, “literal spells,” and the Antichrist. @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social & I talk about why some people around Trump describe his influence in supernatural terms, while I see a psychological process of influence, loyalty, sunk cost, and coercive control 📹: youtu.be/X82cRXo6j88

I'm excited to invite you to join me on a live stream tomorrow, February 27th at 2pm EST with a man named Amir Essalhi who has very recently left Scientology and who was also in charge of Scientology's TikTok account. He has lots to share and it's going to be very controversial!
