“The Cult of Trump” by Steven Hassan Urges Reader to “Listen to Your Inner Voice as Well as Your Conscience”

“If you are a Trump supporter and think Trump is a great leader, or even God-chosen, seek out the views of critics and evaluate dispassionately what they have to say. Listen to your inner voice as well as your conscience. When you hear trigger words like “fake news,” “deep state,” or “radical Democrats,” adopt a neutral attitude and use your critical abilities to sort through sources, check credentials, and look for supporting factual evidence (1, p. 200).

Comment: In this blog, I have often noted when novelists refer to an inner voice, which I associate with alternate personalities, so I thought it was noteworthy when this writer did so, too. Perhaps he, and many others, have an alternate personality, too.
