Tell Me about It...

It's not a cult.
 
This is why I can't do MAGA. From the QAnon, to the Christian Extremists, at the end of the day it's just a really weird fringe party mix, worshiping a reality tv star.

Government has become their weapon now, and the freaks are getting dangerous but it's the cons only choice and not many are strong enough to put all they care about on the line. I get it but I also fear it.
 
The guy was shot in an assassination attempt just a week ago. Come'on... cut that guy some slack. Most of you would be cowering in your safe zone fearful of your own shadow.
 
It's not a cult.
Correct. They're not, they're a political party but, they act like it sometimes. I mean, some of those people are nuttier than a fruit cake. The conspiracies that have come out of the MAGA party over the years are like a beacon for an ice cream with extra nuts on top.

That's the side effect of so many religious extremists in that party coupled with a clearly Christian fake, selling toys none stop. Evangelists going ape shit. Not a good look to me.

Oh I defiantly would. He's a lucky guy.
 
Calling republicans or even Trump supporters a cult, Qanon nuts, or Christian extremists is exactly the same as calling democrats or Biden (Harris? somebody?) supporters Antifa members, violent BLM folks and sexual deviants.

People on the right will bristle at labels like "christian extremists", and people on the left will see someone talking about "violent BLM folks" as a racist.

Those people do indeed exist on each side, but painting the entire party with hyperbolic labels is lame.

Neither party is a cult. I think that rhetoric is very disheartening.

Part of a cult is getting folks to believe things that aren't true. Like Trump is going to void the constitution and rule as a dictator, Hunters laptop claim is Russian disinformation. Trump colluded with Putin and folks who support Trump are cultists...

The same can be said about the Dems. I mean, have you heard the nonsense from the talking potato heads lately?

BLM is a movement to correct racial discrimination in our criminal justice system. Racism isn't over in our country and several departments have been disciplined for it so far.

QAnon is a group of nuts started on 4chan that think Hilary Clinton digest babies blood.

Come on now! There's a clear difference here. It's cult like behavior to try and equalize this nonsense with real movements. That's a problem. Not the same. Why give the nuts weight? Why make them think that these conspiracies are real in anyway? That's the fault of the MAGA party, they should shut it down but they don't!

You'll have to point it out to me. What conspiracies are they up to and sure, it's going to happen but, the heads of these parties need to point out it's not real, and bring those people back to earth.
 
This is a good example of what needs to be done. Set these people straight!



This is not the way to shut it down, it's fueling the conspiracy.

Here's a few...

It's more than a political party but less than a cult in terms of organization. I don't know -- I find it very troubling when there are 39%+ of Americans who will not vote against Trump regardless of what stupidity he says or does. Like, there is nothing he can do to make his situation worse. Biden, on the other hand, he mumbles and everyone thinks "RUN FOR THE HILLS!"

Yeah but, the visuals on Biden having to be hoisted into his car by SS just makes people think he's going down. I don't blame myself for wanting a vibrant fighter for my rights, nor do I blame anyone else. It's just the situation we've been dealt.

I was being facetious to argue the differences between the two candidate's supporters. I certainly was not intending to offend you if I did :)
 
 
It was about 20 minutes to long...good message otherwise.
He imploded the second half.
