Republicans Embrace Cult Status

Rolling Stone: “It’s still Donald Trump’s party — and don’t you doubt it.”

“On the second night of the Republican midterm convention in Dallas — an event ostensibly meant to boost the GOP candidates on the ballot in November — the party fully embraced its status as a cult of devotion to a single man: the president.”

“In a video played on the screens throughout the American Airlines Center, a voice declared that ‘on June 14th, 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a caretaker,’ so God gave us Trump.'”

“The video opened by zooming into planet Earth, landing on a childhood photo of the president.”
