A cult can be a movement that coalesces around an ideology or belief.

You are so full of crap you have a brown spot on your forehead.
I bet you defended HRC who was undoubtedly guilty of the “gross negligence” part of the law on mishandling classified information.
You are a proven “Democrats good, Republicans bad” poster. There is no disputing that.
You also got the rules on requesting asylum wrong.
And I haven't attacked Pence for his negligence either. So nice try pretending I have a double standard.
And outside of Trump, you are pubs good, dems bad. So what?
What’s silly about it? Focusing on an anecdote is a legitimate way to make a larger point.
Has to be a central ideology. I stated that. The left has no central ideology. BLM doesn't care about free Palestine who doesn't care about LBGTQ rights who doesn't care about... At best it would be 1000 different mini cults? But they are still rudderless.
"White Knighting" is a cultural phenomenon and is more accurate.
The middle school teacher from Brown with the Ukraine bumper sticker and blm sign in her yard who wears a mask on her walks and changes Alice in wonderland to alex in wonderland and gives the lead role to the 7th grader who thinks she is a boy is in a cult.
The MSW from Dartmouth who is a program specialist at the local community foundation and funds dei programs with the belief that that’s the pathway to crime reduction as systemic racism is pervasive is very likely in the cult
BLM and Palestine may have been a bad example but even it's loosely allied. Typically there are no loose allies in a cult. It's all in or not.
But whats the cult? Because you could have someone who is equally as liberal living across the street that believes in none of that. Or just a couple of them. Or just one but not others.
Cults are all in or not.
More like a religion - albeit an excessively sick one - than a cult, with several denominations.
This pretty much sums up your Democratic party they care more about offending illegals' than innocent people like Laken Riley. This total POS thinks he should be reelected to finish his job of destroying America.
100% true you mean. You thinking otherwise is almost as funny as mcm claiming to be a moderate
Ok so it's 1000 small ineffectual cults that can easily be rebuffed and debated. The people in them will probably get bored and move on to another one at some point. They will most likely never die for there cult.
The other one we are talking about is like 50 million strong and unwaivering in there support of the one leader.
It's the stupid and easily influenced vs. The stupid and easily influenced.
It’s all an amalgamation of several different governmental and educational theories. Critical theory, DEI, Marxsim, post colonialism, etc. So I understand why people say it’s difficult to pin down.
At the end of the day the through line is that all parties agree with the idea that past or present injustice (real or perceived) should be met present and future injustice as a corrective mechanism, and that group identity supersedes the rights of the individual.
That’s also 100 percent false. Give it up. You can’t win this one. Facts are facts and hyper-partisans such as yourself have trouble with facts.
I noticed you didn’t mention your defense of HRC.
I said awhile back that although Trump has many many warts, he at least puts America and Americans first.
Joe just virtue signals.
This is a perfect example of that.
We should start using other countries responsibilities.
We need to stop trying to take care of the people other countries are glad to get rid of.

We all know the using the word “cult” in the Trump or political sense is nothing but a trendy liberal pejorative. Like “racist,” “Trumpist,” “MAGA,” ”extremist,” etc., cult has become nothing but short for Republicans are bad. There is nothing to be gained by arguing what cult means because the Democrats don’t care what it means. They aren’t smart enough to argue why Trump‘s decisions and actions might be worse than Biden’s.
No "Republicans" aren't the cult. "Maga" is the cult.
Do Republicans care what cult means? That's probably more important in this day.
No, it's not. I know what cult means and I am careful to apply it accurately. There is a Trump cult, whether you like it or not.
