Beyond good, epic! No matter how I try to explain that because I like Trump’s positions on a variety of issues, I am not a mindless cult member it falls on deaf ears. How could anyone possibly fail to understand that Trump threatens our democracy!
Brilliant Substack! I knew I & my fellow MAGA friends aren’t part of a cult but rather wanting someone who spoke to our core beliefs & vision for daily living.
I once heard a speaker describe us as the “Leave us alone coalition.”
Meaning we live our lives marrying our spouses, buying homes, raising our children, worshipping & serving in our churches, working & paying taxes, serving in our communities, taking an occasional vacation, etc. etc.
We just want to do these things & not have some me elite or government entity tell us we can’t purchase those toilets, or have to buy certain lightbulbs we don’t like, or support behaviors that offend us. Another words we pay our taxes, obey laws, so leave us alone.
To me that’s the core of the Trump “cult.”
Encroach upon our lives, families, freedoms, traditions, beliefs … push us enough & we’ll push back.
Call me homophobic & then I’ll become one bc I won’t have the agenda forced down my thought.
Never thought about your insightful “cult” angle of this.
As others have said… Thank you for some ammunition when charged with Trump worship or being part of a cults.
The cause & effect you present is spot on.
They called us a cult & someone countered with saying they suffer from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome).
This is so good. We finally have a stance to take and a response to give. Thank you.
Thanks Kay, glad you liked it. 😀

Projection is their specialty.
Thank you for the ammunition!
Thanks, and I hope you get to use the ammo. 😉

See which came first.
Push & we push back.
TMI - sorry.
But sharing this far & wide. Bravo‼️
Yes, cultism and magical thinking is rife in the respectable mainstream.
