No, it doesn't. The object of devotion has to be to a leader. Cult members are devoted to a leader, not to that leader's ideas. An ideology is only as important as the leader says it is. The leader comes first. I sense some stubbornness here. You are wrong.

This is not what you have stated before and you know it. It's been proven your party fits the definition of a cult and you simply don't like it.

Plus your current leader and face of the party is Joe Biden. He is a massive failure and you refuse to admit it. Instead Trump continues to be your obsession because you are trying to find ways to justify the unwavering loyalty you have for the democrat party.

There are actually several definitions of cult, based on what source you use. A cult can actually be devoted to a set of ideas. It doesn't have to be a person or an object.

He has even stated it can be devotion to a set of ideas or ideology in the past.

1. The current living leader is Joe Biden. Regardless of how big of a failure he is and how much he embarrasses himself you have people highly devoted to him and refuse to admit their mistake of voting for him. They will use every excuse in the book to vote for him no matter what.

2. I've heard democrats politicians tell their followers they must go knock on doors, talk to their family members, make people uncomfortable for not following their ideas. This is all designed to try and bring in new followers. When they can't win on bringing in new members with their ideas they will try and use guilt and shame in hopes of bringing in new members.

3. Their political donations are there for anyone to see. They are highly obsessed with making money. Not even you can deny that.

4. Tulsi Gabbard and other democrats who begin to question and criticize the party are basically excommunicated from the party. In the same way a religious cult will excommunicate a member. And when Manchin and Sinema recently decided to break from party lines we all know what happened there.

So based on even those characteristics you provided the democrat party is a cult.

You fail with #1. Nobody is devoted to Joe Biden. He has no charisma, and he isn't perceived to be strong by anyone. He was elected only because his opponent was Donald Trump. Biden had run for the Democratic Party nomination on 3 other occasions and failed to even win a single delegate. You are being stubborn...

A cult will always be focused on a living leader. The ideology of the cult is only as important as the leader requires it to be.
.
The 8 most notorious cults in the United States over the last 60 years... They all revolved around a central leader. :

1) The Church of Scientology (L. Ron Hubbard succeeded by David Miscavige)

2) The Manson Family (Charles Manson)

3) The Peoples Temple (Rev. Jim Jones)

4) The Branch Davidians (David Koresh - real name Vernon Howell)

5) Heaven's Gate (Marshall Applewhite)

6) The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (most recent president - Warren Jeffs)

7) NXIVM (Keith Ranierre)

8) The Modern Day Republican Party (Donald Trump)

LMAO. Yes plenty of people are highly devoted to Biden based on the fact they outright refuse to admit this administration has been a massive failure. Instead they find enemies to distract themselves from the party's failures. Trump, Desantis, Musk, Putin, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rand Paul, conservative Supreme Court Justices etc.

Plus all one has to do is go on Twitter and the Occupy Democrats Facebook page and you can see people praising this massive failure they call a president.

Great reply.

It's not too early to post a link ... and read it. This couldn't be any simpler. If it doesn't revolve around devotion to a leader, then it's not a cult. The short bus kids in this thread, are describing "zealots".... not cult members.

ZEALOT : a person who is fanatical and uncompromising in pursuit of their religious, political, or other ideals.

That doesn't necessarily make those followers cult members. Unless their group revolves around devotion to a leader, they are zealots.

You can beat the partial definition of a cult all you want, you are still a member of the Dem cult. You will blindly follow, defend and vote for whoever they tell you to. You are no different than the most fervent Trump follower.

LOL. I'm the only one here who is applying the full definition. With no leader, there is no cult. The leader comes before party... which is totally consistent with what we are seeing from Republicans. Trump told his rally goers in Georgia to stay home and not vote in the Georgia Senate runoffs, and that was to great detriment to the party. Democrats have Senators Ossoff and Warnock because of it.

How Cults Work

You are delusional to think that republicans talk about trump more than the left’s propaganda arm . There’s no way you can honestly believe that .

Millions of people are still cultishly attached to Trump.
All you need to do is watch political adds in GA. Trump is in half them. Every republican race is boiling down to the Trump endorsed candidate verses the candidate with at least a modicum of self respect and decency.

When Trump said that he could shoot somebody in the middle of 5th Avenue and still not go down in the polls, he was effectively defining his supporters as members of his cult. It doesn't matter what he does, Trump won't lose favor with his followers... that's a cult my friend.

No doubt. I thought he was crazy because I just couldn't see the appeal on any level. But it turns out he was correct and had a complete understanding of his targeted group.
But I've never understood how televangelists and "prosperity" ministers have been able to so easily bilk people.

Sounds like a zealot is just as bad as a cult follower
