A cult is a religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader.
Does Donald Trump deserve a second term? Yes or No.

I would ask you to explain this but it's pretty clear you're talking out of your ass.
I'm not the one supporting Mitch McConnell and defending Trump, lmfao.
Anyway, to my forward thinkers on this forum:
Salute.
Don't be this daft. Right-wing politics are basically a religion. You think the southern strategy accidentally catered to white evangelism?
Why do you think politics shouldn't be brought up at work? It's on the same plain and people define themselves by attaching it to them.
Your debating the dictionary, not me.
*You're*
Example: You're a coward for the way frame your arguments in bad faith.
Also, checkmate.
"The theory of political religion concerns governmental ideologies whose cultural and political backing is so strong that they are said to attain power equivalent to those of a state religion, with which they often exhibit significant similarities in both theory and practice."

You are judging a grandfather who you do not know. I could care less about proper grammar. I do not play board games so you cannot checkmate me. How do I argue in bad faith? Explain why you think I am a coward, maybe I am. As far as President Trump goes, he is crude in many ways, but I don't see him as a cult leader.
Why do some Trump supporters seem so brainwashed?
All of a sudden people looked around and wanted to be sure of their world again. And there was Donald Trump who would promise anything to any body and make the poor bastard believe it. He has been making promises for fifty years and making money doing it.

Jun 20, 2017 · People donating money, volunteering or working 24/7 supposedly for the cause of social justice had no access to knowledge of the internal life of the inner circle and the reality of the leadership. The lies created a fictional world that became more bizarre, elaborate and far from normality the further into the system one got.

Answer (1 of 14): Now this is hysterical. You had 8 years of a failed BAD, really bad president that was defended till the end for his amazing (fill in the rest as the media had many) and now you question Trump people. HAHA. This is so Democrat. Just answering this makes me laugh a bit. Obama was...

How Donald Trump Became A Buffoon | HuffPost

Apr 28, 2017 · Trump acquired an army of sycophants and grew powerful in his world. When you surround yourself with an army of sycophants, you can only grow into a buffoon and bully. Any echo of dissent was a minority to be punished, then ignored. The result for poor Donald Trump was a false reality where he is always correct and his tough decisions always right.

- A line, thin but perceptible, divides even egregious liars from confidence men. People deceive one another for all sorts of reasons: they might lie to stay out of trouble, for example, or to make themselves seem more interesting, or to urge a business deal toward its consummation. David Maurer, a linguist turned historian of the con, said, If confidence men operate outside the law, it must be remembered that they are not much further outside than many of our pillars of society who go under names less sinister. …

All Dems do is WHINE - bunch of snowflakes - then perpetually accuse any opposing view of doing exactly what they’re doing - so predictable!!!
My feelings are in no way hurt - if you look into the example you posted deeper - you’ll see there is a lot more too it than the leftwing media and DNC talking points have made it into.

What a unique one of a kind take you have here.
Criticize people for not thinking like individuals while basically sounding like a Fox News mouth piece.
I don't care for any of those networks.
I just think most Republicans are full of ******* and start crying the moment you make them feel bad about anything. Even centrist who aren't Dems can see this whole also seeing the issues on the Left.
The Republican Party supports Mitch McConnell, that's really all that needs to be said. The party is trash.
I think term limits would clean house . Both sides need it.
