Not a cult at all

In the new @YouGov survey, 27% of Republican voters agree that Canada is an “unfriendly” or “enemy” country

Here for the deflections and whataboutism
In fairness, both sides are cult like. Everyone goes lock step with their tribe with no room for deviation. Everyone is afraid to cross lines or criticize their own tribe when they go off the rails.
 
Most democrats hate the democratic party. The leaders are wildly unpopular amongst the voters
The dems don’t have a charismatic leader at the moment. They haven’t had one since Obama. The pubs didn’t have a charismatic leader between Reagan and Trump. Regardless of leader or not, I don’t know many dems that stray from the party line or admit that they might agree with Trump on a specific. Issue. The same can be said for Republicans.
 
So let me get this straight, you're using an issue where 73% seem to agree with your position and claim they're the cult. Meanwhile all but 2 Dems walk out of a session in the GA house in protest of witholding funding for dickectomies for state inmates. Odd use of cult iyam.

I'm sorry - but I strongly disagree. Cults are quite different than supporters of the other side. I've never seen Biden burgers restaurants or Biden chapsticks, or people driving around Biden or Kamala flags on their boats or trucks decked out in American flag gear, or "FDT" stickers... and I don't remember seeing a single Biden flag from those storming the Capitol... the Cult will believe anything their leader tells them to believe, as crazy as it might be...

“Same as it ever was” …..especially those that are elected politicians, they don’t give a FF about the general public for the most part - just themselves.

Me, not locked in to any party. But will vote for whoever meets my priorities, providing they are not lying…and that’s the trick, figuring it out, almost impossible.

Have you ever heard the phrase "nobody hates leftist more than other leftist." It's meant to make fun of how nobody on the left agrees with each other and are always fighting. Playing party politics absolutely happens on "both sides", but the cult of personality around Trump is unique only to the republican party. Whatever he says gets adopted across the entire party and MAGA supporter base. The entire community will turn on anyone remotely critical of him

It is disturbing the way he has turned the party of Reagan into isolationists and protectionists.

Have you not seen the people burning and damaging Teslas across the country? Lol

The Democrats literally pushed aside a sitting President. That is not towing the party line.

I understand what you are trying to say and for the most part, you are right; however, we have very recent and real evidence that the Democrats will not follow someone for the sake of following someone.

Hes turned them into whatever he needs them to be at that moment. He's opening talking about war with Iran, and annexing Denmark and Canada. Neither of those things are remotely insolationism. That's the point of it being a cult of personality. They'll reject what's directly in front of them to further support Trump.

There are literally Trump voters on this site that are criticizing Trump for the tariffs or how he went about enacting them. There are Trump voters that have criticized the execution of his flights to El Salvador. All throughout his tenure, he's had Pubs openly criticizing his behavior. It seems to be a huge stretch to me to say Trump voters are willing to accept anything he says with open arms. Now, we had a bunch of Dems that believed O was a deity and would allow them to keep their plan if they liked there plan and save then 2500.00 per yr when everyone knew it was impossible.

The people criticizing Trump for illegally deporting people without due process are in the heavy minority. I'll be fair and give people some time to realize that these tariffs are in fact not good. I'll wait until they feel the affects of it until I really judge.

The Democrats literally protected a man that was visibly incapable of executing the duties of his office for at least 2 yrs and only turned on him after their real deity decided he must be replaced because the deception could no longer continue. And yes, it's true Biden was never the chosen one, he was simply the vessel of the chosen one.

Greenland, not Denmark, but I get your point. He’s also promoting the re-militarization of Europe and Japan which is scary in its own right.

Yeah, Biden was horrible, but I don’t get how that justifies going full blown Herbert Hoover. I don’t get the connection.
Pretty sure all are not supportive of the tariffs. I know plenty that are not. I have already said I wasn’t a fan of the “shotgun” approach. Hit them where it really matters, where there really is a trade deficit.

Be more selective where it really matters. I.E. - manufacturing would be one.

Poll American manufacturers and ask them what they think of tariffs and 90% will oppose, because they need materials from other countries to manufacture in the US. You are right, that is his intent, but it is a disastrous position.

Sounds like your making an excuse for the party. We (the voters) saw what we saw and said "nope", not voting for that. That is not just following the party direction.

If your saying we was tricked and fooled, I can agree with that. But the 1st time we (at least me) saw it with my own eyes and mind I was out... Many on the other side will not admit anything about President Trump.

Even if true, that's not how cults work. Dissenters are beaten into submission or banished from a cult and continuing to oppose dear leader leads to being cancelled. Trump has strong support because he has good political instincts and he fights for populist positions for the most part.

The tariffs are a political land mine for him because if they don't work, his base will weaken. Having said that, he's been an advocate for reciprocal trade for decades and campaigned on free but fair trade in 16 and 24.

Democrats follow more of an ideology rather than a person. At least in these days.

They pushed aside a sitting president because he had no chance to win. They threw a Hail Mary, but the horse they chose didn’t have much more chance than the one they replaced.

You’re just referring to the extreme MAGA people. Just like extreme liberals, they exist and are the loudest ones.

I mean, that’s just silly. Not based in fact.

Are they freeloaders? Yes. Is Western Europe freeloaders? Yes.

But they’re not enemies. Ridiculous.

It’s not just that - I mean how long does it take to move your business here?

Who would want to work in these factories?

And would the product be cheaper even if it worked?

That’s one industry I would want to leave alone, afraid that one will backfire. Apparel, toys. etc - I mean what is China, Vietnam, India and other countries buying from us??

Again, I get the tariffs. but be selective, focus on where we have a deficit.

To be fair, Foxtrot, Delta, Tango shirt sales are going up more and more every week though. I am thinking of buying one myself.

and the Democratic Party approval rating with voters is 20% today. Time for a good strong third party.
The cult dissenters in this thread walk like a Democrat , quack like a Democrat, but are too damned embarrassed to admit they are a Democrat. It is breathtaking to watch the far left, liberal leaning democrat independents on the board do what they do. It warms my heart.

Yet you people are in lock step with the Dems just like good little comrades should be. Give me a break!
