Did you know that most DUers are cultists?

Congratulations and welcome to the cult!

Yes, that is the bullshit that is being published in the Boston Herald by Howie Carr. I'm posting the thread so we can demonstrate our cultish Trump Derangement Syndrome so I'll take the lead by saying, "I hate Trump!"

Please join me in mocking the right wing propaganda.


Carr: Donald Trump hate is a cult
New moonbat religion eschews facts

The world was turned upside down one year ago tonight — Donald J. Trump won the presidential election, and millions of moonbats’ heads exploded.

Since about 11:30 a.m. on Nov. 8, 2016, these smug, sanctimonious know-it-alls — Hillary, Madonna, Harvey Weinstein et al. — have been so utterly over the top in their behavior that they’ve almost become a cult, maybe even a religion.

The Church of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

It took Christianity centuries to take over the Roman Empire. In a mere 365 days, the Church of TDS has become the official state religion for half the country — the media, academia, the Deep State and the Democrat party, but I repeat myself.

There’s an old saying — If you don’t believe in something, you’ll fall for anything. That sums up the Church of TDS.

Unfortunately, my father who was a part-time Baptist minister only made $25 a service back in the 1970s. However, a couple of the members in his congregation would let him and my brother go hunting and fishing on their ranches. He would also get some canned goods and fresh honey.

I'm not accusing him of hundreds of murders.

I do believe his sexual assault accusers, but that's because of the Access Hollywood tape.

I think he has no sense of humor, but that's because he literally can't take a joke about himself and it's documented.

The author is trying to compare this to Hillary Derangement Syndrome. Which IS deranged.

We don't have to make up stuff to hate on Donald Trump. We have real, concrete words and actions he's taken that we abhor. We don't have to make up rumors of faked birth certificates, child sex rings in the basement of a pizza parlor, or running drugs through some backwoods airstrip in Arkansas. Reality provides plenty of reasons to condemn Trump.

or merely turn our comments back, as if that's all it takes. They've noticed us commenting on their cult-like behavior and figure all they have to do is turn it around.

He's just bullshitting, "saying it like it is", so when we take him at his words, we're the problem.

This is a RW Radio phenomenon, too. They toss out Authoritarian solutions casually, and if called on it, it was JOKE. Sure I said I wanted to be dictator and kill all the homeless in their sleep, but it was IRONY. You liberals are such PC Killjoys!

I really believe every follow up question Trump gets should be "is that supposed to be funny?"

They are a dwindling minority group inside the US, and not even a speck in the world. They are sensitive to the cult label, being that they are on speaking terms with the lord of the universe. So they declare that the American anti-Trump majority (and most of the world, friend and foe) are, in fact, the cult. Not even clever. The projection is too damned obvious, Howie.
