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!

President Biden knows he's a bridge president, someone to help get us over turbulent waters.
Had the Republican Senate had the good sense to convict Trump during the second impeachment and barred him from serving again, the MAGA fire might have burned itself out. Trump should have been kicked out of office (either by impeachment or through the 22nd Amendment) and had it happened it (along with January 6th) the MAGA cultists would have been largely discredited.
Depending on who the Republicans would have ran, Biden might not have ran for a second term. But, as he sees it (as do I), he is the best candidate to defeat Trump - just as he was in 2020.
He's the best person to stop Putin's aggression in Europe - and perhaps prevent a third world war.
If Trump had been forced out of office in disgrace, his hold on Republicans would have been greatly diminished - and he wouldn't be seeking out candidates to primary other Republicans. The GOPers in Congress now and after the 2024 elections would be much more "traditional."
If the members of the Republican Party had the backbone of those in the 1980s or even into the 1990s, the war in Ukraine would have been over by now because we'd have provided (along with NATO) enough weaponry to Ukraine that it would have not only pushed back the Russians but re-taken Crimea as well.
So obviously you're pleased with Biden as a President, but the question is would you praise him to the same degree that Trumplicans praise Trump? Do you feel Biden can do no wrong? Is he the only reliable source of information?

Since I do not feel President Biden is God, no, I do not worship him as Trumpets do with Trump.
And, yes, Biden can make mistakes. There are some things which I disagree with him on (such as PNTR for China). But, by and large, among our politicians he's probably most aligned with the views and issues of greatest concern to me.
Naturally, there are plenty of sources of independent information. Not just whitehouse.gov.
Yes, including Trump supporters who made a LITERAL GOLDEN IDOL😆 The point being that there are far too many Tumplicans who DO view him as infallible or as some larger than life saviour and object of worship
