Trumpers keep whining about being identified as a cult and yet they continue to tick off at least one of the ten of these cardinal signs of cult behavior with every comment.

Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.

No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.

No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement.

Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies and persecutions.

There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.

Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances.

There are records, books, news articles, or television programs that document the abuses of the group/leader.

Followers feel they can never be "good enough".

The group/leader is always right.

The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.

Are you talking about Trump or Bernie supporters?
 
Some authoritarian, Trump can't even get the wall built.

Not sure what is going on today but they seem really fired up about Trump.

Maybe the memo is out that he is going to wipe the floor with any democratic challenger?

Could be? :mrgreen: :peace

The power of the cult? :lamo:lamo:lamo

The scary cult!

You're finally getting it!!!

Bernie... Same policy stance since forever. Followers support.
Trump... Changes position on a dime. Cult changes their belief on a dime with him.

Glad I could help.

Are Bernie supporters called Trumpers in your town? :roll:

Is it that they just can't read or their "debate" :)lamo) skills are so primitive they just slap anything up hoping it might work.

That (bolded above) is simply not so on illegal immigration. Sanders has now become "woke".

Citing signs of cult behavior outlined in an avowed climate change deniers argument (The climate change cult: 10 warning signs | American Enterprise Institute - AEI) to prop up your argument that Trumpsters are cultists is oxymoronic and counterproductive
to your apparent goal of labeling that group.

As the saying goes, it's complicated. Sanders past position on immigration reform was not based on being against immigration per se but related more to protection of American workers which had been one of the features that NAFTA failed to protect and that the 2007 immigration reform bill didn't address adequately in his opinion. He's been appropriately opposed to many of the "guest worker" bills that have been passed. Those bills allowed for many job losses for Americans particularly in the tech industries who used the false claim of lack of Americans with adequate tech skills in order to hire foreigners who would work for far less money. His views on a pathway for citizenship for refugees and asylum seekers as well as for "dreamers" has been steady.

There are many tools the Republican system use to make cult followers, from Gerrymandering them into containment and control zones, bombard them with right wing media, promote them to have an attack mentality against anyone who does not submit to their cult leader, devote themselves blindly, when every pretentious moral element they once claimed has been violated, to play on their mind through the long history of right wing white evangelical ideology, that since long ago supported slavery, segregation and bias in every way,form and manner they could engage, while keeping them in peon status, and delusional over skin color... while ripping them clean in cycles, as they are too blind to see, their condition has generational-ly remained stagnate and desperate..

Yet, they blindly devote themselves as cult members in their obsessions to worship any bully who preaches attack the society and its systems.. They devote themselves to trying to recreate the past... and accept being fleeced by any and every means... and LBJ summed them up perfectly:

President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Trump started with divisiveness long before he threw his hat in the arena, with his "birther madness". Trump was raised in Jim Crow Groomed Segregationist Environment, and poor whites are still to this day too blind and self deluding to realize, they were part of segregation, because they did not fit nor belong within the environment of community Trump came from... they were consider as they still are today.. as "Poor Whites" and that is not just about financial standing.. its about the way they are seen as people... and even if they get money, they are still considered as poor whites, and the well to do and wealthy added the denotation of "Trash' to that phrase more than 100 plus years ago, to make sure they kept the line drawn between themselves and those they consider to be among and of the group considered as "Poor Whites"...
They've today, turned that same group into cult followers... that function to fit a system relative to what is "serfdom"... and a serf was never going to be a member or regarded within the society of the wealthy elites.

These cult followers have not figured it out still to this date.


We need STABILITY in our Governance, it won't happen until Trump is gone..!!!

You keep saying “we” as if you speak for yourself and others. That mouse in your pocket surely must have suffocated by now.

Get it straight, I’m not the one who posted from the “dumb ****” climate denier. That was you.

:lamo Silly digitmedius, nobody’s buying your idiotic lie.

You're having an identity crisis of massive proportions. You're the one who cited the AEI's bull****, not I. It seems to me you're so unglued about being caught out as a die-hard Trumper that your rage overpowers you. It's not my fault you got busted even though I'm the one who happened to do it. Your lie was going to get revealed sooner or later since you sport a pro-Trump avatar even as you try to pretend you're the opposite.
 
Some authoritarian, Trump can't even get the wall built.

So, you're saying he's lying when he keeps telling us that it's being built. What is it about being lied to that makes him so revered amongst the Cult?
 
Tweetycult is the first cult led by an Oompa Loompa wearing a squirrel pelt.
