1. I don't think it's hyperbole.

It's an accurate portrayal.

BTW, he makes an interesting point re providing an off ramp for members of the administration as way to start the cult deprogramming process. I know nothing about cult deprogramming, but it sounds right. You can't just say, you're fucking moron cult member. You have to provide a way out. That said, I have no idea how to deprogram half the nation. Maybe if you provide some sort of deprogramming for some of the leadership, that's a start. Like Justin Amash and others who might follow him. Maybe there's a critical mass that would prompt people to at least think a little bit about what's happening. The Steve King town hall is another example, and the demands made in the Joni Ernst town hall. And the poll reporting on Fox news.
