And who is "Dr David Benjamin" ... is he a real doctor? Or just an activist? What's his medial specialty? Is he a psychiatrist?

He did an okay job of describing the Maga activities and why it's a cult, but I was disappointed that he did not provide much insight beyond that. It seemed to be just a laundry list of personality traits (flaws) among the maga faithful rather than anything that was psychologically insightful about the reasons for their behavior and why the cult had a strong hold on them.
