TRUTH.

And I support Trump's re-election.

But too many of his supporters believe any disagreement with anything he says or does is treasonous. That's worrisome.

More than that, they'll defend any hypocrisy, lies, and/or backtracking.

There is no cohesive set of ideas/policies for Trumpism/MAGA other than "I'm against whatever my perceived opponent is for".

His point was a cult surrounding a leader over party.

There are groupthink/NPC issues on the Left, but no such leader to follow like a cult.

*ETA: for a recent example of Trump embarrassment, to compare. If Biden did the Left corollary to the Trump bump stock ban (which would be something similar to attacking "assault weapon" bans and/or removing other regulations like background checks, etc.), the Left would riot. When Trump issued the bump stock ban, his fans cheered him on. Then, when it was reversed, they tried to distance Trump from the ban.

Your TDS is incurable, it’s no that you can’t see, it’s that you refuse to.

In his question


If singing happy birthday to Trump means you're in a cult, what about this?




This is basic logic. You've failed. His point was exactly the opposite of what you thought it was.

So you tell me, what is your interpretation of what he said, if it wasn't a comparison between the 2 things



And, there it is. You've made the common simple-minded conclusion that comparing is the same as equating. They are not.

You need to take a logic course.

absolutely not... I have watched the left melt down since 2016.. Kneeling for the flag, drag queens reading to kids, Riots, inflation. Kavanaughs yearbook quotes, Maxine Waters call for violence against people eating dinner, Video after Video of Black folk shoot outs (Ain't seen no white folk shootouts).. Gay shite shoved down people throats. I could go on...

I am to the point that I would vote for a dead cat in the street than I ever would a Democrat... In Fact I am independant but I have made a vow that I will never ever vote for anything that has a "D" before their name again.. and this has absolutely NOTHING to do with Trump.

Democrat party has turned into a party of Freaks, clowns and demons who think that the working taxpayers own them something. They should be the "P" PArty for Perverts.

This is exactly why the DEMS are vicious politicians.....they will do anything to stay in power. Gaslighting and brainwashing the public, especially young people, is their stock and trade.

The progressive left is the CULT, period.
There is no question about that.

NO! They were his initiatives.

Ladies and Gentlemen! SlowFlowPro has officially announced that George Bush the elder and George Bush the younger WERE MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN TRUMP!

Let's see. The left disagrees with you on that. They didn't attack the Bush's for being far right neat as much as Trump (the second coming of Hitler). The right disagrees with you on that. They know Trump is way to the right of the Bushes. That's why the RINOs don't like him. They like centrism.

Your tard postings are getting boring as hell.

oh and trump being pro america on trade does not make that stance bad.



He's not though. His proposal to replace income tax with tariffs on everything for instance would completely obliterate all US imports and exports. Raising the cost of literally everything far more than what we've experienced the past couple years and crippling or killing off completely companies that rely on exporting.

Unless that's pro America and I'm just not seeing it

Absolutely correct! TDS is a serious mental illness and there’s no rationale/logical argument they will accept. Mental illness is incurable- either they try to modulate it or live comfortably in their delusional world

No, it should be country over all. Unfortunately with the MAGA cult it's personality over country

MAGA cult is such an overused slogan/attack. A cult member follows their leader to the death. I am a MAGA member and I didn’t accept the vaccine or any boosters our “leader” has even encouraged. Most MAGA members have not. We’re able to think for ourselves. As stated many times before, Trump is not perfect. He’s definitely much better than the alternative! Leftists on the other hand will follow their power hungry leaders even if it isn’t good for the country

It matters not to me what Trump’s personality is just like I don’t give a shite about Biden’s personality because I’m not voting for a personality.

When there’s a binary choice between Trump and Biden I’m picking Trump because I see his policies as being better for the country than Biden’s. Biden could have the greatest personality in the world and I’d still choose Trump due to policy preference.

That said, you know if you hate Trump this much then you don’t have to vote for him and no one is going to force you to vote for him, right? You can vote for Biden or RFK Jr or whatever freak show the Libertarian Party trots out.

Right.. as independant I vote for whom ever I feel is most qualified for the job... Unlike Kamala as VP for pandering.
