Not all cults are actively violent.

It sounds like you are trying to convince yourself of something.

Just Burn Loot Mangle, groups supporting terrorists, and the satanic cult we refer to as the Democratic Party.

Cult Characteristics:

"Cults are characterized by a strong, often charismatic leader, absolute authoritarianism, mind-altering practices, isolation, and a polarized us-vs-them mentality. Members are typically encouraged not to question or doubt the leader's authority, and they may be punished or shamed for expressing dissent. Cults often engage in extreme conformity and control, dictating aspects of members' lives, including clothing, food, and relationships."

Now think about the 2 side (Democrat/Republican). Which ones actions more fit these characteristics?

Not necessarily. Conservative leaning folks don't usually do this sort of thing.

It is for sure a cult of personality. It fits the very definition.

If Trump told his followers to start keying cars (which I'm 100% certain he wouldn't do), not all but a lot of them would start doing it.

And if you're wondering, the anti-Trump thing is a bit of a cult as well.

You definitely have the Jonestown vibe.

Seventy or more individuals at Jonestown were injected with poison, a third of the victims were minors, and armed guards had been ordered to shoot anyone who attempted to flee the settlement as Jones lobbied for suicide.

I think you poison, shoot, and coward out and run.

I'll take both (extremists on either side which includes MAGA) for $1000 Alex.

The front page is full of threads about a geriatric and a 53 year old insulting each other on social media and you’re complaining about women.

That's not an option.

"Cults are characterized by a strong, often charismatic leader, absolute authoritarianism, mind-altering practices, isolation, and a polarized us-vs-them mentality.

People here give the TDS'ers a lot of grief and in most cases those TDS'ers deserve it. I believe that many of the TDS'ers are actually miserable democrats just trying to stir the pot. If MAGA really were a "cult", then MAGA would never have accepted RFK, Tulsi or any former democrat. MAGA is actually very accepting of all people, as long as you are willing to work toward a common goal. If you just want to whine, bitch, gripe and complain we don't want you.

Perhaps. I'd argue that those who cannot think/reason for themselves are already in the democrat camp. If he did as you say and some people followed his directions, then he kicked those that didn't follow the directions out of MAGA, you'd have a point. Thing is, he would do none of that.

Actually Trump decides who is in or out and MAGAs blindly go with that just like they did yesterday.

That's the very definition of a cult.

Plenty of MAGAs have argued against Trump cabinet picks.

Who did what yesterday? The little spat between him and Elon? Strong men argue Loud and Proud. Who kicked anyone out? I certainly didn't get the memo that Elon is out. I still like Elon. If I wanted an electric car (I do not) I'd buy a Tesla, whether they get along or not.
