A cult, huh? Let's compare.
The GOP MAGA is covering their ears with gauze and wearing diapers in solidarity with Trump after he wore gauze due to his ear injury and after it was reported he was shitting his diaper in court and smelling up the place.
They have purchased Trump flags, Trump t-shirts, Trump hats, Trump bibles, Trump sneakers, Trump jewelry, Trump Teddy bears, Trump bucks, Trump coins, and Trump NFTs. Not to mention money spent on travel year round to and from rallies.
They have invested hours upon hours standing in line and in hotel accommodations. They have doctor bills from heat stroke, and thanks to the shooting, we come to find out the only reason they are out roasting in the sun or freezing in places the secret service said they can't properly secure is because heated and air conditioned venues with actual seating want their money up front because otherwise they don't get paid.
They have sent thousands in donations to a supposed billionaire who originally said he didn't need donors and who would finance his own election.They've spent hours making Trump signs and other Trump arts and crafts. They've created images of him as some sort of superhero with muscles and other hyper-masculine fantasy.
They use religious phrasing to describe Trump. They have painted pictures of Trump portraying him as a diety. They have turned their houses and cars into a shrine to him. Heck, they even have a Trump golden idol.
So, yeah, dems may describe people who appear to be betraying dem voters as defectors, but those people won't be getting thousands of death threats or needing extra security like they would if they were dealing with Trump's base. We may joke around with a few Dark Brandon memes, but that emerged in jest as a response to MAGA attacks. We don't actually believe Biden has superpowers or can shoot lasers from his eyes. We are not saying Biden is the chosen one, just that he is the best choice as a candidate at this time.
I think you need to look up the definition of a cult.
Looks like Bill touched on some of the religious imagery. I still haven't watched the show yet. I'm expecting Bill to be on that drop Biden train, but after I saw the Mayor Pete clip, I decided wanted to see his full interview so I'll watch it later.
