Absolutely inexcusable if true and such a poor reflection on the entire process. Idiots.

I really would like to know what it feels like to be in a cult. Of all the people on the planet to fall for, it's.......Trump? That's gotta hurt.

I think it's starting to fall apart a bit. Two of the biggest Trump cultists I know just finally gave up on him. They're obviously not gonna vote for Biden, but their previous apathy is back.

I went to make a joke about being a Flames fan. But as I thought about it more, I wonder if people in a cult don't know.

I feel like if you were aware you wouldn't be in it. That the logic of the cult, or the power it has over you, blinds you.

That's legitimately an intriguing question.

The modern GOP hates the concept of democracy and the idea of high voter turnout, so of course they are pissed when Taylor Swift encourages her fans to register and 35,000 people do so on the same day. Add the fact that Travis Kelce promoted booster shots a few days ago and it's easy to see why the right hate her.

This may be the most ironic post in the history of CalgaryPuck if not the entirety of the Internet.

My theory is that the obviously disproportionate outrage directed at Taylor Swift is based in the sense among Trumpers that she, too, is a sort of cult figure whose supporters are irrationally and irreversibly devoted to her, and that she's much more effective in that role despite not even really trying.

I would say it's the pot calling the kettle black, but I doubt Yoho would use the term "black".

Tough break for the Dems, I know they were counting on this for next election.

The decision by the Supreme Court affirmed that a lower court denied the standing of one Texas-based challenger. It made no determination on the merits of any removal from the ballot of any kind, let alone in all 50 states. Read your citations, maybe.
