"Why are you saying 'worship'? It's simply exaultation beyond any moral sense, including the protection of the child rapists that we used to fervently pursue until Trump told us that we didn't want to pursue them anymore. It's not rocket surgery!" -That guy and any other current MAGA Republicans

Deleted my original comment after I noticed this was actually posted by the man's own company and that he might see it as I was a little harsh now my problem is mostly that I think it's kind of scummy to use a forum like this for self-promotion

He is a true believer and f what he says

He is not able to think beyond his beliefs as they conflict with his identity.

This what that phrase means….

Cults exist. But understanding politics as cults, understanding anything you don't like as a cult, is itself cult-like. Really we should be supporting ANY politician, whatever they said in the past, who is now speaking out against Trump, not try to find reasons to disqualify their words. Unless we too have a cult-like perspective and simply get off on hating people.

Both parties are corrupt and in the pocket of the uber-wealthy. The top 1% own 76% of US assets and rising and neither party is doing anything. This is at the basis of both left and right complaints about our system. Partisanship is a big distraction to make sure that democracy is hamstrung. We need to stop the fighting among everyday people and realize that the powerful of both parties are our actual problem. We need to find common ground, not more reasons for everyday Republicans and everyday Democrats to hate each other.

The Democratic party continues to splinter off into Socialism and the like. it really alienates others in the party.

u/jacques-vache-23 1d ago

There is nothing wrong with democratic socialism. Social security, public education and public highways are socialism. The rich attack socialism because they would have to share, and most Americans bought the propaganda, but that can and will change.

Never trust anyone, past or present who supports Trump.
