Demonic as Hell
I’ve watched about 10 of Candace's cult episodes post-assassination. It’s a fascinating window into cult indoctrination.
Watching the full videos is even more disturbing than the clips. Some of the cult tactics she uses:
1- She repeats herself constantly. Repeats words and phrases she wants to stick. She repeats them instead of letting them hang there where you might wonder ‘what’s the evidence of this?’
The evidence never comes, but she makes the statement again, and again, with more conviction…as if she showed you evidence.
2- She uses sarcasm, mockery and contempt probably 90% of the time now. Innuendo and implication delivered in sarcastic form. No evidence. But the tone tells you you’re stupid if you can’t see this.
3- Forced Teaming. She uses a lot of inclusive language so the cult feels like a home. Us, us, us, we, we, we. We will solve this. They can’t stop us. Etc.
She elevates herself to cult leader status constantly, usually after several we and us statements. She likens herself to David, fighting Goliath.
4- She ends every show reading effusive praise about herself. You’re a hero! You’re our David! We must protect you at all costs!
5- She uses mystical knowledge that you just have to “trust her bro” about. She uses the phrase “I don’t know. But I know know.” Over and over. Even puts it on merchandise now. Advertising that none of this is backed by evidence. But she know knows! Ya know?
She says Charlie came to her in a dream. Trust her bro. She uses this ghost Charlie to put words in Charlie Kirk’s mouth from beyond the grave. She refers back to it from time to time, adding to it and embellishing, when she wants to add extra authority to one of her attacks on people. She’ll attack their character simply because their husband was in the military for example (yes, this happened) and then back it up with ‘oh yeah and this was one of the people Charlie warned me about in the dream.’
6- She pretends her life is in danger and makes reference to this in various ways, in every episode, which triggers the attack dog sensibilities of her most rabid cultists. She needs to be defended you see!
7-She actually puts other people’s lives in danger by targeting them and implying something nefarious that she never offers evidence for. She has done this to dozens of people, including non-public figures like that poor hoodie guy. She has done this to Charlie’s closest friends and even to his Pastors.
Her biggest targets seem to be Seth Dillon and Josh Hammer though. She name drops them multiple times in almost every video. She brings them up constantly. She focuses the wrath of her increasingly unstable cult on these men and on Charlie’s friends, family, employees and Pastors. It’s like Orwell’s 2 minutes of hate but it’s over and over and over. Her cult essentially practices this kind of communal and focused hate of her perceived enemies with her.
There’s a lot more that’s alarming, but that’s a good start.
