Political Party Cult - Zod & Drea

When Does A Political Party Begin To Look Like A Cult? #129

It’s to be said, there’s a reason Brett Kavanaugh was pushed through the Senate for approval as the latest Supreme Court Justice: to add to the ever-growing cult membership led by Donald Trump. Now, people who toss on red MAGA caps and worship their micro-god (a la Kanye…or is it Ye?) have blindly and solidly stuck behind him in every nonsensical decision he’s made thus far as President.

Recognize A Cult

We’ve had Muslim bans and yes, he first called it a Muslim ban. Believe him the first time. We’ve had continued attacks inside of the border on Latinos and immigrants not named “Melania” or “Melania’s Family“. Then again, he only likes people not from “shithole countries” that happen to be in Africa or Haiti itself. The lightening of America is a threat to him and his administration with them (even Black ones) advocating for the longevity of White people as “rulers” aka supremacists in this nation.

Uh Oh, The Black Guy Is Here

The Republican party used to stand something more than just trying to ruin Liberals or overtake Democrats. At one point, they tried to work with Democrats for a common goal of moving the nation forward. Those days have long disappeared once Barack Obama was elected in 2008 as president of the United States. Suddenly, the Republican party was splitting up into “Tea Party” Republicans with more hard-lined stances regarding finances. Then, an uprising of even more staunch White people who seemed to hate anything “Obama”. When Obama called for peace between Henry Louis Gates and an officer after his arrest over beer at the White House, White people lost their minds! All at once!

Conservatives began cherry-picking at the Black president’s entire existence from who he associated with, if he were a terrorist, a Muslim, or even born in the country. They all treated him as an “other” and pretended race had nothing to do with it. The sudden uprooting of White-ism and replaced with a dark man with a darker wife, and dark daughters was too much for the American Republican Conservative to handle so they considered Obama to be the “most racist president in history“. Of course, they forgot about White presidents who actually supported slavery, Jim Crow, War on Drugs, and disproportionate prison sentences targeting Black people. But hey…standing up for Black children killed by thugs like George Zimmerman was enough for White Republicans to behave in a cultish fashion and claim themselves as victims….of racism. I’m not kidding.

White Man’s Burden

Trump IS White As Hell

Judge Kavanaugh’s horrible crybaby act due to being labeled a rapist to Dr. Christine Ford reignited the #metoo movement where women shared their stories online, used the hashtag #whyididntreport, and were galvanized across the country! In unison, they decried why this man was unfit to serve in the highest court of the land and just to claim a victory, the Republicans shoved him through after flaky Jeff Flake of Arizona called for a week-long investigation. Of course, that investigation was weak and the FBI didn’t investigate anyone relevant to the charge of rape from Kavanaugh. The evil Mitch McConnell celebrated first when he denied Barack Obama’s Merrick Garland hearings and then when Crybaby Brett passed through to ensure his 76 year old policies were cemented for another 40 years for America to experience as he has.

And the Trump supporters celebrated. All without thinking once how they’d be affected. Just like a cult.
