Are Trump’s MAGA Loyalists a “cult?”
Former US Army General Barry McCaffrey said that Trump MAGA Loyalists giving us a parallel to Germany in the 1930s.
He specifically stated:
"What we are seeing is a parallel to the 1930s in Germany. I don't say that to the Republican Party, that 15 to 25 House members, a couple of Senators, and all of those who are Trump, MAGA loyalists. This is a cult, it is a lawless cult, and it is a major threat to the armed forces of the United States and our security. It is shameful to talk about General Mark Milley.”
There is certainly some behavior that would mimic a cult, seen by some who refuse to leave his side or those who say they will stand by him even if he’s found guilty.
But can you say part of the base is a cult, or is that too extreme?
