Is the Authority of the Cult Leader in Question?

When the authority of the cult leader is called into question, there's some sort of dismissiveness or punishment. And this leads to Alex going on a long rant, screaming about how right he is about everything. It's exactly like a cult. It's him cutting off his family from any contact because they're suppressive persons. So I am sorry I went on that unhinged rant triggered by a caller questioning whether I got some facts wrong. Even the slightest little bit. Unprecedented lying is upon us. We're in deep trouble.
