The cult. Yes. But the cult is shrinking and it’s leader will be dead in the next 5, maybe 10ish, years if we’re unlucky.
The cult henchman (politicians) do care and are having a hard time right now dealing with the backlash. Complaining about trans girls in sports doesn’t really work when people can’t afford gas to drive to their job.
The 30% cult is still filled with the most out of touch and uneducated Americans. They are still reachable in a way, at least their children and next generation with the right education. But there is at least 15-20% that are just old, privileged, and upset that their children won’t talk to them. And that problem will solve itself with time.
Is the cult shrinking, though? If you look at Nixon’s support even as he resigned…I have my doubts.
They may be a bit directionless for a bit and “go teabagger” again for a while after he’s gone. But that’s just until they can find the next awful asshole to rally around.
Nixon wasn’t a cult. There isn’t a real comparison in past presidents on approval ratings. Cults don’t usually shrink slowly. They have splits that occur. It’s in a hardened defensive state right now. They moved to private land and built a fenced off hideout. Breaking out takes a larger event. But the complaints are open secrets. The sewage is backed up. The crops aren’t growing. People are getting sick. But everyone is too deep and too far in to say anything. We have to wait til the leader asks everyone to drink the Koolaid.
