Trump's original sin was beating Hilary when the left had deemed it was time for a woman to be President. To them, that was unforgivable.

Since you're taking it so literally, I'll back off the hyperbole a bit and rephrase.

The cult's hero worship is harmful and creates significant blind spots for his flaws, one of which is actual leadership. Leaders don't kick the "other side" after a victory. Leaders unite. He made no effort to do so. He's a grifter.

For example, he endorsed McCarthy for SOH but then says he was a bum. Dah! Obviously the way he performed as SOH changed things. Same for his staff hires and appointments. It is a silly attempt to get Trump and as per normal it doesn’t work.

It really doesn’t. You don’t see them outraged about Biden’s lies. So it doesn’t.

They are commanded to be bothered… so… they kneel, bow, and then obey by being bothered.

Biden has literally done what leftists were supposedly outraged about from 16-20. Everything. Except now they are commanded to defend. So again.. they kneel, they bow, and obey by defending.

Sometimes.

You see, in Washington and especially defined by the Left, "unite" simply means that the Right give up their values and acquiesce to the Left.

Sometimes leaders have to do unpopular, MEAN things.

So saying "leaders unite" is about as worthless as saying "diversity is strength".

Explain to us how he upset your life.

He didn't. And I didn't claim he did. But I think your responses pretty much prove how your OP was stupid. You claim that Trump has no impact on people's lives then list all of the ways he thinks he impacted people's lives.

When they don't they lose.

counter-punching and trolling his critics as worship.

Yeah, it's hyperbole used on this board by Trump supporters. Do you have any idea how frequently "only" is attached to him in a claim? He's the only one who can fix this, he's the only one who can go scorched earth, he's the only non-politician. He's constantly touted as unique, above the fray, different from everybody else, etc etc.

He did some good things, he did some bad things. He's a politician at this point and has been for some time.

Yes, having fun and making counter-punch posts on a Political message board is indicative of cult-like behavior.....

This sort of thinking is more of an indictment of his critics than his supporters.

Trump supporters do and say things to poke at those insane folk who irrationally hate him and a big part of that is hyperbole.

Outrageous memes and trolling message boards are part of that.
