"Speaking of jargon, there's another word for deprogramming, "conversion therapy,""
This is so stupid it hurts. Conversion therapy rests on the stupid and malicious idea that sexual orientation is a choice, and that people can be educated out of it.
Meanwhile, cults and extremist movements really *do* program people. You can take it completely out of the political context; deprogramming cult members is a legitimate area of psychological treatment that involves trying to repair the depersonalization and brainwashing imposed on them by the cult.
Such an idiotic attempt at drawing a politically convenient parallel between two things that couldn't possibly be more different.
Sorry to have hurt your feelings but I think that my analogy is valid. The MAGA movement is often referred to by members of its ideological opposite as being a cult and the transitioning industry seeing as that it preys and weak-minded children and some of their parents also has all of the hallmarks of a cult. Furthermore, therapists who work with children who want to transition to get them to hold off until they are eighteen have also been said to practice conversion therapy. Conversion therapy is no longer limited to changing a person's mind about their sexual preferences.
