I remember a National Geographic describing them as innocuously as just another political faction, despite the unified marching and banners hanging down from the walls.

I think it was people *knew* something was wrong, very wrong, with this group, but everyone wanted to just pretend they were just another political party. A collective case of “don’t trust your eyes, don’t trust your ears, don’t trust your gut”

And here we are again… don’t trust your eyes, don’t trust your ears, don’t trust your gut
