What do you believe is the greatest threat facing the United States, and what measures would you implement to address it?

@NerdyPotato They needed a functioning education 30 years ago, now it's not going to do anything useful.

@NerdyPotato I'm neither a democrat or a republican. But neither side are a "cult"...

@Therealsteve are you sure about that? There's the red hats as a uniform, the blind belief in everything Trump says and disbelief in everything that goes against that regardless of the source, the god-like adoration of him (all the superhero merchandize and memes), the fact there is nothing he can do to make members stop supporting him according to their own words.

@NerdyPotato Yes, I am sure about that. Do show me another "uniform" that consists of just a hat.

Any Trump video I go on to I see people on the right disagreeing with him over certain aspects. You've got the whole criticism of his support of Israel by some on the right, calling him "MIGA".

There are plenty of people who have stopped supporting him, just as there are many people who stopped supporting Biden.

The human brain has evolved to only be able to properly understand around 100 people - the size of the tribe. We now have nationstates of tens of millions of people, yet our brains haven't caught up and still need this simplified view of the world. With things like "the right this", "the left thinks that" as if there are just two people "left" and "right".

It's where all this usage of the word "cult" comes from. It isn't possible for any mind to process the individual thoughts, feelings and beliefs of hundreds of thousands of people, and so we categorize people into different groups and assign what we believe they think on to them to allow us to quickly make sense of a very large and complex reality of which we have little lifespan to deeply understand. We don't like to consider the limits of our minds, it is an afront to the ego, and so the negative connotations associated with the word "cult" is a favourite of people. It allows them to simultaneously simplify a complex reality, minimize the realisation of their mental limitations, and place themselves above the people they are simplifying.

@Therealsteve I didn't call republicans a cult. I know there are non-MAGA republicans too. I specifically only mentioned MAGA. That is definitely a cult.

@NerdyPotato Show me where I referred to you as specifically calling republicans a cult. Though well done at using that semantic to just completely disregard everything that I said and address none of it.

@Therealsteve you replied to me saying neither side is a cult. Technically true, but that was just a random comment that had nothing to do with mine then?

@NerdyPotato No, it did, hence it was talking about what isn't or isn't a cult, in response to what you said about cults. And hence it mentioned Trump, just as your comment did. Now, could you stop playing word games and actually address what I said?

"Yes, I am sure about that. Do show me another "uniform" that consists of just a hat.

@Therealsteve No, but that doesn't change the fact that MAGA uses a hat as a uniform.

Non-MAGA republicans disagreeing doesn't contradict my statement that MAGA members do agree with everything he says.

This doesn't have anything to do with MAGA either.

The hardcore MAGA members do not have individual thoughts. When you ask them a question that hasn't been answered by Trump, they are stumped because parroting him is all they ever do. That's what makes them a cult.
