Trump has literally put a spell on you people that you go around calling yourselves an Anti-Trumper lol.
I heard someone talk about Trumpism the other day, lol.
Trump is not a Religion.
Trump is not an Ideology.
There is no such thing as Trumpism.
You are a bit blinded if you don't see the level of cult-like behaviors following the guy around.
Kewl said it in the context of his statement. This is completely normal.
You're the one fed such nonsense that you're telling Kewl is is wrong for simply giving the context of his statement.
Here is a list from the "Cult Education Institute" .. Each is a "warning sign" of a cult. Lets put this in the context of "Is Trump a cult-leader" ? What he does is not like a real cult but I posit that there cult like behaviors are strong for many of his followers.
Absolute authoritarianism without accountability
Yes - definitely trump
Zero tolerance for criticism or questions
Yep, this is Trump.
Lack of meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget
Well, this doesn't really fit because Trump's personal finances are not part of the cult but the lack of publishing tax returns and other misc things make this far more YES than no.
Unreasonable fears about the outside world that often involve evil conspiracies and persecutions
Yes. First time I dislike Trump was him talking about the conspiracy of Latin countries sending their bad people. China China China.. etc. There is no measured talk for him.
A belief that former followers are always wrong for leaving and there is never a legitimate reason for anyone else to leave
Yes but this isn't so much a thing. I will give him a neutral on this.
Abuse of members
Nah, Trump doesn't abuse his followers. I mean you can't given he is a politician.
Records, books, articles, or programs documenting the abuses of the leader or group
No, he abuses others but not his followers. He definitely has bullied people who oppose him but thats the nature of having such a group of troops.
Followers feeling they are never able to be “good enough”
Lol. This doesn't fit so no, but it couldn't be yes either.
A belief that the leader is right at all times
Yes of course.
A belief that the leader is the exclusive means of knowing “truth” or giving validation
Yes of course.
Anyway bro the writing is on the wall. Wise up.
