I previously voted republican and was raised in the fox news soup. Its cult worship behavior that forces them to worship their leader. Its a big part of why it's hard to move away from voting republican, they are all afraid of being cut out of the in group for disagreeing. None of that shit exists on the left, which is why they always argue about the basics.
Totally agree with the first part. Cult worship can exist on the left but currently in the US it is highly localised (e.g. unions)
Are you actually this dumb? Or are you an LLM purposely trained to have a backwards training set?
I agree with what you say about the right.
I don't see an argument why it can't also exist on the left.
It's literally one of the fundamental differences between like republican voters and likely democratic voters in the US. Democratic voters don't change their opinions based on who is doing the thing, Republicans will always agree when their leaders do the thing and disagree when democrats do it.
Semantics about, "oh it could exist", are not worth discussing except in bad faith.
Oh, Democrats still do support hypocrisy. Just to a lesser extent.
E.g. Democratic voters are against insider trading, except when Nancy Pelosi does it. (For balance, insider knowledge about tariffs was 10x more profitable)
The current worshiped charismatic dictator is on the right, but there is absolutely no reason they couldn't also emerge from the left with similar support.
E.g. Biden created the Patriot Act and it doesn't get more authoritarian than that.
I'm not supporting "The Right" I'm saying what happened could equally happen on the left.
