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!

The key is to say something negative about the person's candidate of choice.
• You tell me Joe Biden is getting older, and may not be fit for office much longer, and I'll acknowledge that it's possible. You tell a Trump supporter that, and they'll deny it and call you names.
• You tell a Biden supporter that Hunter broke the law, and they'll agree. You tell a Trump supporter that Don Jr or Eric broke the law, and you get a barrage of insults.
• You tell a Biden supporter that Joe may have committed a few acts of sexual harassment, and they admit that it's possible. You tell a Trump supporter that there's evidence Donald may have committed actual sexual assault, and you can actually see the steam coming out of their ears.
