It’s really incredible how they can’t see that they are behaving exactly like trump supporters do - refusing to hear any criticism of their leader, however legitimate, and framing it as “fake news” and those who point it out as traitors and enemies, being willing to ignore any and all bad policy, political or personal record to “own” the other guy (and no, voting for Biden isn’t stopping fascism), being blindly loyal to someone who clearly has no loyalty to them or interest in their wellbeing.
It’s literally the same cult-like behaviour, and the only people it serves are the cult leaders (and those behind the curtain funding them to make sure their system continues to chug along uninterrupted).
If only they were able to be as loyal to their own interests as they are to team red or blue, the working class might actually have a chance at breaking free from this circus that exists solely to placate and distract us from what the owning class are getting away with.
Its just really important to identify it and call it out when you see it. Even with the way they downvote brigade, its important to put them on display.
I agree, though that works mostly for those not yet sucked in to the cult, and just like with the trump cultists - if they aren’t ready and willing to hear it, it’s fingers in ears, LALALALALALALA as loud as they can, and onwards with ignoring reality…
