Trumpism has more of the characteristics of a cult than a political movement

[AMart]

OP I think you mean "Cult"ural Marxism. That is you Cult.

 

[Ralph Norton]

You meant to say almost all of it, right? I assume that was a typo on your part because all of those characteristics have been exhibited by his supporters right here on this forum.

I said exactly what I meant. That fact that SOME of those characteristics apply to SOME people does not make it a fact.
And, as I already stated, they have been exhibited by Biden supporters too.
PS- aren't moderators supposed to be impartial?

Trumpism has more of the characteristics of a cult than a political movement. See the definition below. That is Trumpism.
According to the Cult Education Institute, there are specific warning signs to look out for when considering whether a group might be a cult. Cults are characterized by:

1. Absolute authoritarianism without accountability
2. Zero tolerance for criticism or questions
3. Lack of meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget
4. Unreasonable fears about the outside world that often involve evil conspiracies and persecutions
5. A belief that former followers are always wrong for leaving and there is never a legitimate reason for anyone else to leave
6. Abuse of members
7. Records, books, articles, or programs documenting the abuses of the leader or group
8. Followers feeling they are never able to be “good enough”
9. A belief that the leader is right at all times
10. A belief that the leader is the exclusive means of knowing “truth” or giving validation
11. Cults are dangerous because they typically rely on deceptive and authoritarian practices to make members dependent on and obedient to the group. Cults often cut members off from other forms of social and financial support and pose both physical and psychological risks to members of the group.

Hi, you are obviously operating at an extreme level of handicap, specifically you are an intellectual zombie, whose mind was murdered deader than a road killed skunk at public school, so I will greatly simplify response so that even your dead mind might know a thing, ready, here it is, the democrats and the democrat party are the "absolute authoritarians," and they are absolute authoritarians because they are F A S C I S T S!

All the best, and happy trails....

Actual cult behavior is obsessive.

All anybody would have to do is perform a forum search on his name and all those derivatives thereof, and the results will indicate who is actually indulging in obsessive, cult-like behavior.

 

[Delldude]

You both have a lot in common

Funny how the shoe fits, eh?

 

[excalibur]

Wow, almost none of that can be said to apply to Trump and his fans.
Good job.

But applies to The Cult of Øbama. Naming schools after Øbama even before he was sworn in, a Nobel Prize for nothing, creepy Stalinesque songs being sung by schoolchildren, etc.

Because this one is socio-political in nature, there really aren't any domestic comparisons. So you have to look overseas.

How about these?

1. Zero tolerance for criticism or questions

I don't think that's true of us MAGA folks, nor even Trump. He would have press conferences and answer questions for hours.

We can handle criticism or questions.. We don't censor the opposition like the Dems do everywhere. We counter differing opinions with reasoned arguments, not censorship.

1. Unreasonable fears about the outside world that often involve evil conspiracies and persecutions

These are matters of opinion about arguable things. You don't seem to very tolerant of differing viewpoints by categorically stating it this way, and that's rather ironic.

1. A belief that the leader is right at all times

LOL. Silly strawman.

1.Obama had 0 tolerance
2. How many of those conspiracies came true? Quite a few.
3. How was Obama any different?

First guy: YOU are in a cult.

Second guy: No. It is YOU who is in a cult.

Third guy listening: So, are you saying that if I don’t flip flop all over the place and continue to support “so and so”, I’m in a cult?

First Guy: Exactly.

Second Guy: Damn straight.

3 out of 11 - good job.
And these apply to only some of Trump's supporters.
(and there are more than a few Biden supporters right here on USMB that 1 & 3 apply to so there's that)

I do not know one Biden supporter
Who has zero tolerance for criticism or questions about Biden.
Tell me the evil conspiracies and persecutions Biden's voters claim?
No Biden voter that Biden is right at all times

Would not mock Biden if he came out with Biden super hero trading cards.

Cult followers are always very sensitive when they are called a cult member.

We can identify the many Trump cult members by the way they replied to this post.

They are very defensive.

He spoke to the press far more than Øbama let alone the doddering Biden.

Hell, on his way to get on Marine 1 Trump always stopped to speak with the media.

I agree.

Barack Obama was the real cult.....he was even more than that for the lunatics on the Left.....he was almost The Second Coming!

You want a cult there you have it .....in Barack Ovomit.

Of course it is a cult...somewhere between a cult and a Mafia.

trump would not answer questions. He would begin and then go off into his whining about either:
-being a victim
-having all the answers and being the smartest person in DC.
-or how he has been cheated

You people are FUCKING RETARDED.

All you need is a message popular among the public to bolster your ideals. But since you seemingly have none of that you rely on a miniscule amount of politically motivated retards on the right to paint an entire population.

Keeping that in mind would you like to discuss the criminal rate among BLACKS? Or does your asinine logic only apply to the right?
