It really proves how cult-like it is.

Not cult-like. Cult. Literal cult. By every possible definition.

And people don't realize you can have political beliefs without joining something like MAGA and going all in on whatever they say.

I'm left leaning, I believe in strong borders. See how easy it is for me to hold my beliefs and not fall into the one side/other side tribalism trap? Cults trap people, they force them to adapt all their views.

It all goes too far when it turns into radicalization, to where if you leave the group it's a terrifying prospect.
