    I'm glad I grew up in a place that taught me how to think instead of what to think.

    Apparently the RNC forgot about the commandment “Thou shalt not worship false idols.” Nothing screams false idol like Trump.

    The cult of personality around Trump is just creepy.
  • @chrisjames3087
    The guy can't vote or own a gun, but he can be president? I find this a bizarre situation.
  • @dbs555
    Calling Trump the Antichrist used to be considered hyperbole. I would submit reconsideration.

    0:30 And what did he do, once he took office? He began beating up on people who couldn’t defend themselves.
  • @lindaoliver8657
    His lies are ridiculous. Crowd was worried because they thought he was dead? Not even laughable anymore!

    Some common characteristics of cults include: 1. Authoritarian leadership: A single leader or group of leaders who demand absolute obedience and control. 2. Isolation: Members may be encouraged to cut ties with friends and family outside the group. 3. Exclusive truth: The belief that the group has a unique or exclusive understanding of the truth. 4. Coercive recruitment: Using manipulative or deceptive tactics to attract new members. 5. Emotional manipulation: Using fear, guilt, or other emotions to control members' behavior. 6. Secrecy: Keeping teachings, practices, or activities hidden from outsiders.

    The Republicans don't have a monopoly on God... This is one issue that can be countered.
