How you can tell it's a cult

I’m a Democrat.  Let’s say you told me you thought the American withdrawal from Afghanistan was a disaster, and that Joe Biden ought to be ashamed of it.  I would agree.  Let’s say you said Joe Biden should have stuck by his promise to be a one-term president instead of hanging on.  I would agree.  Let’s say you said Obama should have never announced that “red line” policy in Syria and then went back on his word.  I would agree.

So would most Democrats.  We can be critical of all kinds of Democratic actions.  Sometimes maybe more than we should be.

Now ask MAGA supporters to name some Trump policies they oppose.  Ask what they think about some of the worst things–supporting Putin over Ukraine, deporting people who are here legally, giving polluters a license to defile the air and water, picking on Canada and Denmark.  They will not criticize Trump.  They will make excuses.  They will say you are being unfair.  Give him a chance.  Look at all the good things he’s done.  You’re just being “woke.”   He makes no mistakes.  He is a god.
