You’re projecting a strong sense of community, superiority and being enlightened.
Since you place an importance on facts, explain why a wide range of ethnic minorities shifted their vote in favor of Trump from 2016 to 2022, while white voters swayed the other way.
Looking forward to the rationalization and deflection
- aww_dang 4y agoIt isn't worth it to get into the weeds with the specifics of political movements. Agree that "cult like" devotion isn't seen as such when it is aligned towards the dominant narrative of a community. That is seen as normative. The reasoning or lack thereof can be equivalent in all aspects as long as it suits the bias of the viewer. Getting back to the topic at hand, the intense hatred, the half-baked misapplication of the word ponzi, could be described as cult like. I'm not sure "cult like" is especially meaningful as a criticism given this. It reads as more of a signal of affiliation to one tribe rather than a insightful critique.
