The difference between a political party and a cult is that you can replace the party leader when they are no longer up to the job. The end for cult leaders tend to be a bit more bumpy for all concerned.

Cult may not be the best word for this. In politics this is a textbook autocrat. While it feels good to use the word "cult", its definition doesn't match this 100%.
Well, he’s remade the R party in his image. So, hopefully 🙏 if he goes down big in Nov, a bunch of his minions in congress, especially those involved in 1/6, will fade or find out.
I wouldn't count on it. Even after Jan 21, when a bunch of Q-pilled folks became disillusioned, the MAGA movement kept going in strength. It's also spread around the world - we Canadians are worried about our next election. I expect this fight to be a long game, even if the Dems win big in Nov.
Good point. Trump has stayed around & been how MAGA has grown. Defeating him is a big step for us, but you’re right, the fact that France & UK have pushed back, and if we can, it will hopefully help you, too. It may be a long cleanup, but with him out, the imminent danger will be lessened.
I am hopeful; I just think it's so important that people not get complacent & think that electing Kamala fixes everything. It's a big improvement (vs a Trump Presidency) but there will still be a lot of work to do. Election organizing is step 1. Community organizing is steps 2 through...forever.
Yah, I think it's extremely telling how smoothly the Dems transitioned from Biden to Harris, vs the R's complete inability to find a replacement/alternative for Trump...
Also, in the 'every accusation is a confession' sense, prominent R's continuing to assert that Obama is secretly running things.
See also: Trump's continued belief that Biden is going to retake the nomination at the convention. The idea of voluntarily giving up power is unfathomable to him.
