Seriously, I think people who are ultra-conservative and ultra-liberal are brainwashed to some degree. If you don't agree with them then they pretty much consider you to be the other side. They don't really listen to reason because what they believe, in their mind, is the only views that matter.

And then there are those who are even more extreme, they bring politics into everything... It just seems like the same mindset that people in cults have.

The Democrat Party is the cult of death whereas the GOP is a collection of patriots.

No. They are tribes. And we all have one.

Thanks for providing an example.

Sure, for some.

Obviously TD is chock full of cultists of trump or they would recognize witness tampering and obstruction of justice.

They will take the impeachment harder than most. They just wanted a white male isolationist demagogue. Pity.

They are 100% cults. Both parties. They foster group-think mentality and banish those who dare think for themselves.

Eta: as evidence, see the first reply by biglego

They are e to some degree, sure.

For example, there will be a response below with the word Soy in it. That person will be mixing the koolaid for the up voters to drink.

Both parties tell their constituents what they want to hear. It's too bad a viable third party option will never be able to challenge the clusterfrick in DC.

Last 2 elections I refused to vote for anyone with a D or R next to their name.

Specific ideologies, like progressivism, are cults.

And I would venture to say 90-95% of your downvotes are Trump groupies. Anything, and I mean anything, that can be remotely viewed as a slight to Heir Emperor will be met with fury.

On the other hand, we were camping Big Bend and one of our adult leaders (Boy Scouts) is a retired big city police Captain. Young earthy couple next to our site seemed really nice, but upon hearing his background immediately said, “so you’re a Nazi.” It was surreal and spooky. Total POSs.

.....I myself ride the fence.....no cult here
