The Divided States of America

That seems like a rational, common-sense position.  What troubles me is that there are millions and millions of people who pledge allegiance to Donald Trump.  Not his party, or his policies, or what he stands for, but to the man.  How is that anything but cultism?

I think you would be hard pressed to find millions and millions of Trump cultists who do not also support his party or back and believe in his policies?

Simply absurd, they would pivot, not simply cease to exist.

"I'm not a Republican, I'm a Trump Republican" is a term or phrase used by conservatives to say I am not part of the GOP establishment or as Trump proclaimed, "The Swamp". I would also add for many the part of the political party labeled "Rino" or "Republican in name only". The frustration of these or this group of so called Republicans displays the ability to become part of the swamp or system. Trump was a Democrat, an Independent, not a party guy. He broke many a political mold and if you don't think so look no further than the political witch hunt by that swamp still going on today. 

So if you want to call it a Cult or Trump-ism then you are free to do so, or at least for now as we lose that freedom slowly courtesy of those whom dislike him. 

Please do not speak for me. I do everything within my ethical, moral and legal rights. I take my obligation, duty, responsibility as a citizen of this country, county and city serious, as serious as a constituent ca be. I understand I am but one man, one citizen, one vote but to claim I do not do sh*t is grossly misstated. If I remember did you not sit out the Presidential vote in 2020? I will agree, to an extent, that the "Conservatives" of this country have allowed their opposition to be more aggressive, more assertive and to a point more corrupt to get what they need or to where they want to go. So to counter your belief above, what are you from this day forward going to do.... or not? 

Fine, guys, have it your way. I just hope you think twice when he asks you to drink that special Kool-Aid. If Trump is this country's only hope, its only Messiah, if everyone else is part of "the swamp", then we had all better start learning Chinese. I try to be more optimistic in believing there are other conservative leaders and potential presidential candidates so that I don't have to throw by support behind a narcissitic childish ass. I hope I'm right.

You don't.  It's when a candidate's supporters elevate him to the level of a demigod and see him as the only answer to our problems that things get dicey for me.  I'd like to see a ticket of Ron DeSantis and Rand Paul, although I'd be happier if DeSantis had more years of experience.

And Liz Cheney has about as much chance of getting nominated as you and I do.
