Maga Trumplicans like to say that the left is brainwashed (and/or actively trying to destroy AMerica lol) and of course the left says the same, BUT

...which side is more accurate?

So this is not a thread to go tit for tat on which leader or party did what. The question i want to examine is who is actually brainwashed here?

On the Trump side we hear things like "Trump is the greatest president in American history", "Only Trump can save America", "Trump is the only one who can prevent WW3" and we also hear conspiracy theories for why not everyone loves Trump the way his base does or why he appears to have done bad things and on and on.
tl;dr Trump is the saviour genius who can do no wrong.

On the Democrat side....people like a lot of what Biden has presided over, they like that he's not Trump.....and that's pretty much it.
There are precious few people on the left who seem to think Biden is the bees knees and NONE that i've heard of who think he's a faultless hero.

So.....which of those two groups seems the most brainwashed? Cultish?

*Edit*
This....kinda makes the answer obvious to me but let's keep the discussion going!

Neither side is accurate. Nobody goes into mainstream politics actively seeking to destroy their country 🙄 The polarisation of political debate and the lack of respect that people have for opinions other than their own has led to this sort of meaningless rhetoric.
@SunshineGirl

Oh i agree that neither side is intentionally trying to destroy their country.

But which side is falling into fanaticism or cultism?

@Pikachu I think a small number of people on both sides are guilty of that. And they lower the standard of political discourse.
@SunshineGirl

Do you think it is a equal number of people on both sides?
Are there rallies going on for Biden that espouse conspiracy theories and champion Biden as a saviour who can do no wrong?

@Pikachu I'm not sure even his keenest supporters would claim that!
@SunshineGirl

I think you're right about that
