Former President Donald Trump’s supporters say they hold him as a source of true information over their family, friends, and religious leaders, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll out on Sunday.

      I still wonder Jonestown was a hostage situation and the members of the cult were coerced at gunpoint to drink poison to avoid being tortured to death by the CIA.

        It was, in fact, a cult. The only people you could reasonably assume were “hostages” were the children that were forced to drink cyanide because they didn’t understand what was happening. You can hear them on the recording.

        There were people who left Jonestown that spoke about the practice sessions. Most people were not in any way forced to drink it because they were brainwashed.

          You can actually hear a lot of people crying, not just the children. You’ve heard it was a cult, but all that information was filtered through the US government.

            It’s really convenient that you can simply refuse any information as it being from the government with no proof because it allows you to never be wrong.

                Right, but you never said anything about the people that left Jonestown who talked about their experience. Were they government agents?
