Convince us it's not a cult

[Veroe]

Trump said he was going to be a dictator on day one if he wins and that only made his supporters support him more.

George Washington is rolling over in his grave.

Did you have an issue here? No, and why not?

Or here

https://www.politico.com/s

Find a source that uses an author who has a modicum of journalistic standards. Your first link is like reading propaganda - filled with emotional hyperbole, histrionics and all the impartiality of the lunatic fringe.

For the politico article, show me where Obama embraced any of that to the point of posting a deification video that a "fan" made. You won't be able to find that, nor will you be able to find any instances of him leaning into the embrace of it.

Further, if you want to go apples to apples - you're going apeshit about something not even close to the same level. If you think your response is justified then frankly the left should be screaming this from the rooftops. If they were to be on par with your level of hysteria.

An editorial is opinion, just as worthy as yours or mine. It's not a fact source.

We already know that Deplorables do not accept facts that do not support their beliefs and prejudices, and that they only rely on sources that tell them what they want to hear.

Nothing new here. Just confirmation of what we already know.

Pocjet is teh new Vetteman.....doesn't even bother to read the editorials he presents as "proof", he simply scans for editorial headlines that appear to support his myopic world view and shitposts them incessantly. Shitposting 100 posts a day doesn't leave much time for supplementary reading.

It may or may not be a cult but it's something cult adjacent.

Interesting that the right wingers first defense to this is whataboutisms.

You are correct. I don't believe this source as it is so obviously slanted. If you want to be involved in a rational and mature discussion don't bring propaganda to the table and expect it to be taken seriously.

Address my point: The reality is that Obama never leaned into this glorification and never re-posted any "tributes". You used Obama as a way to rationalize this over the top and frankly disturbing behavior by Trump. Your comparison doesn't hold water.

So you have to pivot to defending your propaganda.

Trump told them Not to Believe what they see… hear… read .., know deep in their guts

He loves the STUPiD .., cuz his uncle was a genius

one has to wonder if trump, as a kid, ever heard family praises being sung: "a veritable stable of geniuses in this family!"... which he interpreted as meaning he must be a 'stable genius'

^^ that's just such an odd turn of phrase to come out with

 

[jaF0]

Well, he can toss horse crap better than most.

 

[Vetteman]

Just because we support Trump and worship him as a living God doesn’t mean it’s a cult.

Not when you consider the source.

It’s a "tell" when that orange POS says something like that: A bluff. A smokescreen.

It can be accurately interpreted as the orange POS admitting to being an unstable idiot… which is spot on.

*nods*

Fair point. It’s more like a religion.

To give our late PM-but-three, Theresa May the tiniest iota of credit she deserves for a single actual achievement, I believe she introduced Mr Trump to the hypothetical concept of stability, as her (two year?) term in office was the towering, colossal epitome of Strongness and Stability; she said so herself even as her Machiavellian pile of shit backbenchers were machinating to defenestrate her and install their blond god Johnson in her stead.

Ah, the long lost halcyon days of our winsome carefree former second-ever!!!!! female PM flirting and batting her demure eyelids with Orange Goebbels like a modern day Mitford girl; she knew deep in her heart those fascists were nasty, but so dashing and charismatic ... oh wait, I forgot. This particular specimen was just crass and shit. Still, realpolitik and all that.

When I think of May and Trump, I think of "You're our biggest trade partner! We're yours! A lot of people don't know that!"
They "don't know that" because neither part is true. The UK's biggest trade partner is Germany and the US' is China. And they say Biden embarrasses us on the world stage!

Her fawning and eyelid-batting embarrassed the fuck out of me, as an Englishperson. As much as I despised Thatcher, she would never have kowtowed quite so ungraciously to a patent idiot like Trump. I mean yeah, Reagan was not exactly awash with braincells and I doubted the so-called special relationship even back then. But it's fucking embarrassing now.
