Come on BB. If you want to call Trump supporters a cult you have to expect the same back. There isn't a difference.

That is ridiculous. The MAGA crowd personifies a Cult of Personality in every aspect.

You are just trying to marginalize that.

This is a crazy statement. It's one thing to say the DNC is a cult, but on the level of Trump? I live in a purple state. MAGA hats, Trump signs, Trump flags, etc. everywhere. Nothing like this on the left.

All the dipshit retired people doing parades in golf carts. Trump cult is its own thing on its own level.

Yeah, it's a more popular cult than the Dem cult. Glad we agree.

She came within 6 million votes of Bidens all time record and over 10 million more than Obama ever received, she received (I think) the 3rd or 4th highest ever vote total of a presidential candidate so yeah the cult turned out in droves.

She got votes because she wasn't Trump. Doesn't mean there weren't a lot of dems off the reservation. It's the same reason the corpse Joe Biden got the most ever. And we have the largest voter base that we've ever had these last 2 elections, so the "3rd or 4th all-time" stuff is meaningless. She got more votes than Bill Clinton? When the voting eligible population had 55m fewer people? Shocking.

The DNC is running a whole campaign right now on social media shaming liberals for not voting for Kamala, so IDK what to tell you.

You think Biden has a Cult of Personality following? Please explain who this following is, and how it meets the criteria of being a cult. Be specific.

This is absurd. Biden was forced off the Democratic Party ticket. A political maneuver which had a majority approval among Democrats. I certainly don't miss Biden .... and I don't think anyone else does either.

From the Bethune-Cookman website.
Characteristics of a Cult:

1. Isolating members and penalizing them for leaving
2. Seeking inappropriate loyalty to their leaders
3. Dishonoring the family unit
4. Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.
5. No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.
6. No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement.
7. Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies, and persecutions.
8. There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.
9. Followers feel they can never be "good enough".
10. The group/leader is always right.
11. The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.

No one ever leaves Tru-topia, so that can't be a cult. However, it is accepting the mass migration from Dem-landia, which is a good thing since they are attacked and marginalized for having done so.

This is who cult members are, and this is what they do ....

Exploring the personality of Donald Trump's personality cult

Unscathed by all scandals, Donald Trump's popularity among his loyalists could still secure him another term as U.S. president. Why are these voters willing to ‘ride or die‘ with Trump? University of Vienna political philosopher Lars Moen examines the psychological roots.

I do not believe that any members of the Trump echo chamber on this forum even understand what a cult consists of. I say they are a cult, and I support that belief with links. Due to the constraints of their intellectual limitations, they can only defend this by playing the "Same to you, but more of it," card, taken directly from a 3rd grade playground handbook.

It's Trump's, "No puppet. No puppet. You're the puppet," routine.

It was the Trumpers who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, because they thought that they could help Donald Trump retain the office of the Presidency by disrupting the formal certification of the electoral college vote that was in progress. That was indeed, downright crazy.
