You never know.  Remember, Democrats are the cats and Republicans are the dogs.  We don't need a leader to follow, an idol to worship, a cult carrying-card.  I rarely watch cable news but I watch my husband watch the news and he does what I would do if I had the stomach lining to watch either side - I would watch BOTH sides realizing they are both extremely biased.  But Fox actually lies and MSNBC just controls the narrative very narrowly.  We are pretty typical moderate Democrats who weren't crazy for Biden but were serious about getting rid of this Republican party and it's replacement for Jesus.  I've never bought a book about Trump and I think we are pretty typical Dems.  The crazy ones get all the publicity because the press loves crazies.

None of which has anything to do with my posts.

"We don't need a leader to follow, an idol to worship, a cult carrying-card." LOL....ever heard of Barack Obama?

You can pretend that there isn't a cult of personality that has elevated Trump to dear leader status, but that only makes you seem either naive or indoctrinated to others.  This Trump cult is dependent upon the propaganda that is pumped into the minds of the members in their cable television and right wing radio media consumption.  Trump conservatives demonstrate exaggerated devotion to a charismatic leader. This devotion was fomented using authoritarian tactics and tools as a means of obtaining and maintaining power.

If Trump supporters don't want to be considered as a cult, they should try to step out of cult behavior.

Obama indeed did have a "cult" or people that seriously liked him, myself included.   But I do remember when he wanted to attack Syria progressives and lay democrats uproared so loudly he backed down from his plans.  Doesn't sound like a cult.  And when he was branded with the "lie of the year" "you can keep your insurance" he was widely lambasted by all.  Doesn't sound like a cult.  There were times when he was held accountable.

Trump lied day in and day out and the greatest lie of all is that he won the election.  Sounds like a cult to me.

Ugh...why are we talking about these two.  

Here's Biden:

So Texas Governor Greg Abbott has Covid I hear! 

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! 

Wanna bet he gets the best treatment possible while his constituents die?

He's asymptomatic and vaccinated.  He needs no treatment.  The poster child for why we should get vaccinated.  I can only hope he will hype the vaccine.

Hope he is Okay.  Governor Abbot is doing a great job managing a pandemic while not destroying the economy and the mental health of Texans.

How do you know he didn't win the election if the Left block any audits?  Trump faced more adversity in office than any other president in history.  I'd like to see some the "lies" he told as well.

Obama helped overthrow Libya and cause genocide.  He also incited racial tension, pushed systemic racism conspiracy theories. and incited the murder of the Dallas 5.  That man has blood on his hands.

That's nonsense.  Audits occurred.  The election was free and fair by every measure and it was measured up and down.  Every credible source said it was free from widespread fraud. 

Trump was the most corrupt and dishonest president of your lifetime.  You've seen Trump's lies, heard them with your own ears and yet you cannot say that you are aware of them.  Why is that exactly? 

Trump's malfeasance is responsible for hundreds of thousands of American deaths during a pandemic.  Trump incited a violent insurgent attack on our capitol over his biggest lie, a lie that you apparently believe.  Trump has blood on his hands.

Heard he's getting monoclonal antibodies prophylactically just in case, anyway? Wonder who pays for that while Texans are not encouraged to wear masks?
