Trump is another Jim Jones
Why people stick with Trump and Fox News
"Why are Trump supporters so devoted? The simple answer is that they are members of a death cult. Call it the #TrumpDeathCult. Beyond that simple answer, there’s this: When your identity rests on Trump and his party being right, to admit that they are wrong—or worse, that they don't even give a rat's ass about you and yours—requires rethinking everything you are. I guess for some people, dying is easier."
Yes, folks, some people are actually drinking disinfectants because our president said that these might be cures for COVID-19. These so-called cures are even more likely than COVID to kill people.
I'm old enough to have seen this before--over 40 years ago, the cult created by Jim Jones ended in mass suicide.

who has actually ingested disinfectants? The only reported case of any of this is a couple that ingested fish tank cleaner that contained chloroquine. Trump didn't say "ingest fish tank cleaner" he said a pharmaceutical product (chloroquine) shows promise. He was wrong, but that's a separate issue. And the couple that ingested the fish tank cleaner (he died, she went to the ICU) is now being investigated as a homicide. (Also, they both hated trump.) https://freebeacon.com/coronavirus/police-investigating-death-of-arizona-man-from-chloroquine-phosphate/
Nobody has injected or ingested bleach or any other disinfectant. Don't let the facts get in the way of your hatred. (I can't stand Trump, but I also think that amplifying lies simply feeds into his base.)
