    Few Republican's showed up for Obama's inaugurations but that's just a tit for tat. Personally I think both parties are poison to the unity of this country but the people in lock step and saying their President of choice in unfallible in anything he does without any criticism whatsoever are the ones rowing the sinking ship.

    It is.

    But the cult-like devotion of some Trump supporters is equally real.

    Both "sides" are generally detestable, though I am finding Democrats to be the most detestable of late.
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

    It is true, some support for Trump is cultish. But liberalism itself is a cult.

    At the end of the day it's simple political hackery...

    That seems to be a poor example of reasoning.
