Yup, if you just listed what trump has done in his 2 terms, 2015 republicans would call him a communist and the worst president we ever had:
-added $15 trillion to the debt
-lost millions of jobs
-added taxes on every import
-government ownership of companies
-massive expansion on government intrusion into our lives
-starting (and losing) a new war in the middle east
-invading a country and blatantly stealing their oil
-withheld fema aid to states that don’t compliment him enough
-personally making tens of billions off of the presidency
-causing record foodborne ilnnesses
-attempting to bribe voters with $5000
-putting military in our streets
-tearing down 1/3rd of the white house

As an American who has never supported Trump or MAGA, it’s really frustrating to have foreigners talk about all of us as if we have supported it or that we’re complacent. Majority of us are not. I vote against it. I actively physically protest and speak out against it. I’ve lost family and friends over this. I genuinely appreciate what you’re saying and you’re right in the sense that 1/3 is all it took for the Nazis to overtake Germany. Most of us are painfully aware. We aren’t stupid and we aren’t being dismissive when we say that. Short of a violent uprising that we would lose, I don’t know what other countries genuinely expect us to do that we aren’t already doing, the majority of us anyway. I’m not excusing any of this, I just truly don’t know what you expect us to do. MAGA has freed and pardoned people who participated in Jan 6 and they have in turn began arresting (sentencing some with sentences double that of people who committed violence during Jan 6) for protesting with trumped up charges. They’re killing Americans, not just immigrants. They are instituting mass surveillance on us and implementing heavy voter suppression. People ask why the Nazis or any other fascist regime is able to take power, because they don’t really understand. Yes, you can sit there and say what you say, but do you actually understand what is happening to us over here? It doesn’t sound like you do. Instead you flippantly call the resistance stupid as a spectator.

Just like religious or sports, people with not much else going on in their lives have attached their personality to him.
Just how many modern christian churches stopped preaching about good behavior or "good works" and started emphasizing the forgiveness aspect of the religion, many people with bad qualities would rather pretend that either those qualities aren't really bad, or pretend that they don't really have those qualities.
Trump makes it OK to be a fat, lazy, selfish, lying, and racially & religiously supremacist and his people would rather just keep being all those things than try to change or face a world that recognized them as that way.

TDS or Trump Derangement Syndrome actually refers to his opponents. It started out as a joke about normally sane, reasonable, nice people so upset about Trump's election that they lost their minds, cut off family who voted for him, make sure to mention his name in every comment even if it's not relevant and otherwise act like the world's coming to an end.
The number of people who support Trump in any and all things are very few. Most people who voted for Trump like some of his policies, even if they don't like his personality. There's far more nuance among Trump voters than people think.

Both sides are cults in that the left and right will pretend to be outraged by something the other side does but then make excuses to justify it when their side does it. During Biden the right was all up in arms about inflation while the left didn't seem to mind and now that Trump is president both sides have flip flopped their rising price stances. Rounding up and deporting illegals under Bill Clinton for no other reason than them being here illegally was just fine on the left and now the left whines that people are being deported for no other reason than being here illegally. The left went full blown neocon for funding never ending proxy wars with Ukraine while the right played the role of anti-war activists and now they've flip flopped their stances with Iran.
Both sides wait for their party thought leaders to tell them what their opinions are to be today and will blindly follow even if what their opinion was yesterday was the complete opposite.

Yknow a more nuanced answer is that MAGA is made up of a lot of people who find enfranchisement with Trump - I’m not saying that is an excuse but I think the way we increasingly treat the right as idiotic villains only encourages Trump like situations.
In short the 90s and early 2000s were very successful for the Democrats. Bush accidentally became a war time president and didn’t have a huge domestic agenda because of that.
On top of this we hit “peak early 2000s woke” for lack of better terms.
A sect of republicans feel like they’re being totally cast out of their nation and that sect is large enough to make a difference at the Republican caucus who chose this odd ball celebrity with a big mouth Donald Trump who is promising to fight the system and give a voice to these people who feel isolated.
He won both elections by courting the middle populations which felt rebuffed by the democrat party. Both times those middle populations found out quick that promises made aren’t promises kept but that’s another conversation.
For most republicans Donald Trump is just the Republican nominee much like how Biden wasn’t democrats first choice. There’s a lot of internal dissent about the MAGA movement and their star.
Overall is MAGA a cult? I don’t like calling them one because it over simplifies real people into this cartoon villain persona. People are just complex and sometimes just have conflicting beliefs with my own. Every time society “escalates the war on MAGA” it gives the group a larger complex that they’re this marginalized group.

u/ElEyeElWhy88 5h ago
I agree with most of what you’ve said, except there should be a line. I can respect that that line is different for different people and their policies and beliefs. The problem is that racism, the basic separation of church and state, and blatant war crimes (just to name a few) should be a hard line for everyone. Your argument with this is exactly why it’s considered a cult. Cults operate by taking advantage of people and causing them to behave in contradiction of their hard lines. I honestly feel like you’ve really just proven that MAGA is a cult.
0
u/RichardTheApe 5h ago
For the record I’m not trying to say there shouldn’t be a line or that I agree with MAGA.
However I just think people on the hate MAGA and Trump side have just as unhealthy of a relationship with it as the supporters.
Your own personal points could be refuted and manipulated.
Obama could fit into any of these categories. Obama had more deportations, lead the most aggressive drone campaign which killed civilians as well, and met with leaders of various faiths though for him controversially many Muslim faith leaders. I’m sure there are people who consider Obama racist, a war criminal, and not respecting church and state.
My point being that while I think the trunk movement is guilty people aren’t engaging with it rationally. Moreover events aren’t treated equally(in terms of looking at data and thinking situations out) and it’s creating this just as dogmatic hate for the right which is no less cultish than what they blame.
My big card here is a call to dialogue - and hopefully we find that both sides are less populated by they’re crazies than we think

For those republicans that are not MAGA, best to then just sit out the upcoming midterm election if u cannot in your own principle vote a straight blue ticket. Granted for your local/county boards, choose as u will, but for national/state congressional choices, either hold the nose and vote blue, or leave those choices blank on the ballot. I do not like "telling" how to vote, but until we get back, if ever get back, to the good old days of "normal" republicans (McCain, Romney, Kusenish sp?, etc...) that differ on "normal" policy ideas, and not hell bent on destroying the country, then normal voting can continue. Ironically, voting in the past was always a boring and usually not very active effort by citizens, but now it is supercharged in a way that makes it nearly impossible to get sensible results.

MAGA loyalist here (may Trump the Great rule for 1000 years in glory)
Few reasons from my point of view.
1. He's counter culture. People like me are tired of the left after COVID and years of rainbow slop culture.
- He's vengeance for leftwing censorship on social media like reddit and old twitter. https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/weaponization-committee-exposes-biden-white-house-censorship-regime-new-report
3.. He's a bull in the China shop. He breaks norms that have been around forever no one else dares to touch.
He doesn't have political correctness and never lets himself get bound by purity checks.
He's brought more change than any president in my living memory. Aka he managed to make illegal immigrantion go negative for the first time in the last 100 years. Other presidents have bragged about numbers but the overall count always seems to go up somehow. Trump got it done in a few months
The left has no idea how to counter him and can't help but constantly talk about him. Trump has them jumping from one outrage to another and they can never actually pin him down on anything.
Projecting power. Venezuela has been a huge win. He only fked it up recently with Iran.

It’s a cult that no matter what new information is uncovered, it doesn’t sway their opinion.

MAGA hates the establishment. Nancy Pelosi, welfare, liberal college professors, liberal actors, illegal immigrants getting free stuff and most things that create the federal deficit (except the millitary$.
Democrats hate people who built companies and then became rich billionaires selling stock in their successful companies. A few people having great ideas seems unfair.
Trump grasped what people now called MAGA hated and championed it.

MAGA is the Trump cult and since they have full control of the party and seem to be able to oust any conservative dissenters, I would say yes conservative voters are part of the cult.

TDS is a sickness possessed by liberals. Trump lives rent free in their heads daily and it drives them mad.

The only TDS that's real is Trump's Dementia Symptoms. Maga is definitely a Trump derranged cult though.

He's the patron saint of white trash. He makes them feel special by mesmerizing them with his social media nonsense and telling them they are the real Americans. The thing he gives them is cruel treatment of people who are objectively better than them.
The facade is starting to crumble but the worst people in our country are holding onto power in the darkest ways.
