What is it you guys say? Don’t be such a snowflake? It has all the signs of a cult:

1) It’s about the leader, and him alone, not about a philosophy, logic, or party
2) Criticism of the cult leader be tolerated. You must attack anyone who doesn’t show sufficient adoration or questions the leader.
3) Former members of the cult must be attacked and ridiculed, destroyed in any way possible. They are deemed “supressives.”
4) The ones most loudly sounding the alarm are the ex-members (fmr administration officials, Matt Drudge, etc)

I mean, sorry if it offends the cult members or isn’t “PC”, but the signals are all there. You’ll eventually see it.

Looks like Litter Box Lady is having another ridiculous TDS meltdown. If DJT is a cult leader then so is every other politician that has followers or supporters. What about Bernie? Or AOC? By Litter Box Lady's reasoning they're cult leaders as well.

I don't think Creepy Uncle Joe has a cult, though. He just has some clueless minions that never seem to have a positive thing to say about him. They're all too busy with DJT living inside their empty minds.

I do joke that Trump fans are a cult but by the textbook definition, they aren't. You don't have to hand over all your money to Trump (he'd take it, but you don't have to do so to be part of the gang) and you can leave the group with ease.

It is a cult of personality - I don't know how anyone can look at those MAGA memes with Trump photoshopped to death as an idealized, buff, heroic figure holding hands with Jesus or whatever - and not see that.

The difference between Donald Trump and Jim Jones is, Jim Jones used cyanide and Donald Trump uses lies.

Lol! Sounds more like the Democrat party, it is your party that is so much closer to Putin’s government, but because of Hillary claiming that it was Russian collusion all of you jumped on it and believed it, which by the way was proven false. If anyone dares to disagree with the Democratic Party they are called racist, fascist etc.... and not because its true, but Democrats goose step right along. Hey, I’m not offended and I still respect Bush, because he was the right man to handle 911 and gore would have been to much of a whimp to handle a crisis.

I’m just cracking up because since Trump won, you guys keep coming up with new ridiculous insults.

I disagree.

Impeached Trump is not a charmer. He's a crook and a sexual predator!

Trump supporters don't follow Trump - they support him -- because he isn't a politician and is taking on the deep state and corrupt govt. Everyone in the media and DC trying to take him down simply add supporters to his base because they can clearly see what they are trying to do - since day 1. It's not hard to understand.
He’s been in office for four years.
He’s a politician.

As for taking on corruption, if putting people in positions where their wrongdoing can come to light, I guess that’s one way to do it.
How many indictments for his pals are we up to now?

Jones/Trump mindset same-o same-o.
Exactly.

And he’s proven himself right.
200,000+ people dead because he “played down” Covid-19.
And they don’t care.
