I'm Tired of Trump Supporters Being Labeled "cultists"

Dayton3 said:
I like the policies President Trump has advanced EXCEPT for the following:

1) I'm disappointed that he has not taken any significant efforts to cut the federal budget deficit. Especially by cutting domestic federal spending.
2) I'm against U.S. withdrawing its forces from Syria (or anywhere for that matter).
3) I'm against him unnecessarily antagonizing long time U.S. allies.
4) I'm against him speaking favorably about dictators like Little Kim, Putin, Turkey's "president" and various others.

Not necessarily a policy per se but it is worth mentioning

5) In general I'm against President Trump antagonizing political opposition in the U.S. unnecessarily.

If I were president I would plan to shut the hell off and force the media to have to almost drag comments out of me.

If you can argue your positions in your own words in a way that shows you thought them through, if you aren't just knee-jerk defending him no matter what, etc., you're probably not going to be called a "cultist" by a majority of people here.

The ones typically called cultists are just about fungible at this point. They say the same things in the same way. They are guaranteed to lie in defense of Trump no matter what. If they find they cannot lie about what reality is, they default to "so what".

They're the same people who said Obama wasn't born in Hawaii, that Obama wasn't a Christian, that Obama was racist against white people, that Obama hated America and wanted to destroy it. They're the same people who made a fuss when he was shown with his feet on the desk, when he wore a tan suit, and who took issue with his asking for mustard possibly Dijon on a hamburger. They reek of tribalism.

:shrug:


But if Hannity says "A" and the next day you say "A", and this happens for B-Z, you're probably going to be considered a cultist. What thinking non-cult-like person loves a politician so much that they like everything he does? I've heard it said about Obama voters, but then on every site I've seen left-lean people were disagreeing between themselves AND with Obama on multiple things. (structure of stimulus, end-content of Obamacare and lazy approach to getting it passed, the NSA scandal whose abuses managed to be worse than Bush's, drawing red lines then doing nothing, jumping into a local issue the moment a story breaks then ending up with egg on his face, and so on.)

thanks for this. I am glad not all who voted against T are.. unreasonable, even though I fail to see anything wrong w/ his tweets (or much of anything else, assuming I know much.. we don't get to know a lot of things re what's going on behind closed doors. I have to say I didn't know a lot of things that the Ds were talking about today... sad thing is, I won't know until the Rs go w/ their case and may not even know then... but the saddest thing of all is that these Ds are (most of them... at least some of them anyway) known liars..

so I still don't know anything bc I have seen them lie and distort reality so much that... I genuinely feel sorry for the senators who have to actually sit there and listen to them for the whole time... OMG! I mean... really OMG!

those senators have earned their pay for the year.. (and the year just started)

You're angry. Your right but I don't accept any of the responsibility for your emotions.

Angry, angry, I'm not angry, you're angry. You're angry because because you don't like getting called a cultist. But yet here you are defending the cult like a good little cultist. If the shoe fits, wear it.

Your posts say otherwise. You seethe with Trump anger.
I don't care if you call me names. That's on you and speaks to your own fragility.

Seethe? Well, you reek of Trumpism. It's not just a name, it's a cult identity...and you wear it well.

They're just angry that anyone would dare to criticize Trump. Hence the reason for projecting.

11,000 fact checked lies, and the zombies still line up for the orange kool-aid. Indeed the crybabies listen, and still willfully opt to drink the poison that is Trump.

Start to list the lies.
 
The irony of this thread is that cultists participated to prove they're cultists. :lamo

Yes, I know lots of the people that use that term hate Donald Trump. I'll grant that they believe they have good reasons to do so.
I don't like Donald Trump myself. His personal history and the way he behaves is frequently repulsive and utterly disgusting. I did not vote for him.

But I support President Trump because I agree with most (not all) of the policies he has advanced as president and while I do not care in general for his "counterpunching" and "tweeting", I do admire considerably a Republican president who isn't afraid or unwilling to fight back.

Finally, I believe that the efforts people have made to oppose President Trump are far more dangerous to our country than anything President Trump has done or could conceivably do.

Thus, I find it galling to have myself (and others) labeled as "cultists". By no possible definition of the word is my support of President Trump in any way reminiscent of a cult member showing allegiance to their leader.

While I recognize that there might be some (very few) Trump supporters who would fit that stereotype, it definitely isn't most or even the majority of Trump supporters and I'm pretty sure even Trump haters would recognize that fact if they were honest.

Scientologists hate being labeled cultists too.
Funny how the tactics they use are carbon copies of Trump tactics, or actually....vice versa.

They're too busy projecting and trying to make the other side look worse than they are.

Clinton had the balls to admit his mistake(s) at the end of the day. Trump...not so much. ( fact )

So he paid close to a million dollar settlement and lost his right to practice law by admitting his mistakes? I heard nothing like that from Clinton.
