Nailed it. Trump's core supporters do seem as blindly loyal as cult members.

(14,856 posts)In regard to people who vote against their own interests, I pondered the idea of people being so brainwashed by fear of outside "threats" that they actually killed themselves!
Then I remembered Jonestown.

1/3 of the voter eligible people in this country are full on Jonestown koolaid drinking zombies.
1/3 of the country is infected with the "they are both the same" strain, which is advanced by republicans to peel off those who are not full on koolaid drinkers to vote third party or not vote at all. It's VERY clear how big of a pos 45 is, and it is VERY clear how intent republicans are in fucking us over, but these people buy the evil liberal boogyman and/or are willing to accept and enable republican fuck wittery.
Then, there is our 1/3.
