The Political Junkie Thread

The cult grows.

As President Donald Trump nears the 100-day mark of his second term, recent polling from NBC News shows how he has consolidated the Republican Party not just around himself, but also around his broader “Make America Great Again” movement.

Thirty-six percent of registered voters identified themselves as MAGA supporters in the March NBC News poll. It’s a significant increase from past NBC News polling — up from 23% of respondents in a merged sample of all of NBC News’ polling across 2023 and 27% of respondents in a merged sample of NBC News’ 2024 polling.

The overall share is powered by the 71% of Republicans who now call themselves MAGA supporters.

...

“Look at this transformed party, where in 14 months we’ve gone from 40% of Republicans from saying they identify as MAGA to 71%,” McInturff continued.

The thing about cults is that they usually meet a sad demise. Not all, though, as the Church of Scientology is still thriving and raking in billions; it's hard to say which MAGA is destined for.

Yup. And the problem is that they are all in. They do not question him at all. It is blind obedience. Drink the kool aid and then agree with everything he says and use his excuses to defend things. It is unfortunately so easy to find the people who were brainwashed because they all have the exact same responses and talking points. They are OK with the extremist behavior of Trump and the idea of doing things gradually does not cross their mind.
