I am not sure that people outside the US who have not had to deal with a similar party leader understand when we say, 'cult', we mean an actual, completely brainwashed cult. Not just racists. Not just people who like strong men or fascism, as exists globally today. An actual cult, where the members are willing to abandon their families and long-time friends, give away their belongings, and even resort to violence. Nothing, no matter how vile or rational, will get through to them except careful deprogramming. We have to contend with that. It can happen to you. Please be careful out there. #VoteBlue2024 #harriswalz2024 #voteblue2024protectdemocracy
@hacks4pancakes Well, similar mechanism are at work in Germany. We are, maybe, 2-3y behind on how extreme it is, but same.
And you still have a reasonable alternative to vote for. In DE even the "left" parties either want to sell us to Putin or are so far left, they come back in on the right.
So called "social democrats" are dreaming of denying basic human right to asylum seekers and deporting them to camps.
I hope your election goes well, or else that will serve as a catalyst here.
