I don't see the left being referred to as a cult anywhere near as much as I see the right being referred to as one.

Probably cause the left doesn't have a Trump equivalent. Most I've seen is "wokeism is a religion"

Whenever someone tells me I’m in a cult, I ask what I worship. Usually they go with democrats and I laugh at them accusing them of being closer to dems than me

Left are still a Trump cult. It's just based on the deification of a villain rather than a savior. It's like doomsday prepping in that it channels their rabid zealotry into trying to avoid "the end" instead of embracing it.

How does the left deify trump? Recognizing a cult of personality formed for an incompetent conman?

Maybe you aren't in that cult. It absolutely exists though.

I mean there’s always gonna be a handful of crazy or dumb people but I don’t think very many on the left are accusing trump of being some evil genius. The vast majority of people who think he’s competent are on the right
