I think a better word for his followers would be 'Trumpeter'.

I think an even better word for his supporter (not followers) would be AMERICANS.
Calling Trump supporters "followers" is insulting. It implies we are members of a cult. The cult is the Left, those suffering from TDS are the cultists.

So, anybody who doesn't support him isn't a real American. Right, nothing cult-like there, at all.

I have no idea what I'd label myself as anymore. There's no prominent platform out there that doesn't subscribe to a Yellow Dog ideology, so to hell with all of them.
CL or no, I'll say this for nothing: I'm far more comfortable hanging with Trumpists these days than anyone woke.
Please love yourself.

The only reason the visceral, destructive hatred of Trump isn't shameful is because all the people who feel it are surrounded by people who also feel it. These sorts of things only become shameful with historical perspective, if ever.

I didn't say that. You're the one drawing lines, not me.
But now that you mention it, let's consider the actions of your side of the aisle and see how American they are.. burning flags, infanticide, attempting to make us a Socialist country, chanting "fuck America", and on an on. That's the side you're on, whether you are willing to admit it or not. And that's not American.
-
That's not actually the side I'm on, at all.
I know that would simplify things, but that doesn't make it true.

Whatever you say, Larry. Always the voice of reason.
You paint anybody who doesn't agree with you as an imbecile, or an extremist, or both.
-
I actually despair of the political situation. I don't see anything good happening.
And for the record, I dislike enormously the flag burning, the rioting and looting, the chanting of 'fuck America' and so on.
If you want to paint me as a villain or a hard-leftist, that's your prerogative, but it's still a load of laughable old bollocks.

Me, neither. More than usual, these two candidates are both supremely bad. I can see a road to ruin for this my beloved country with either of them.
Though I don't regard it as inevitable.
My sole hope is that Biden, being of the political class and having spent beaucoup years in the political system, will be less of a loose cannon and may be more amenable to working with the other branch.

Obvious lobbying to join me in the Objective category is obvious.
But it isn’t going to work. Horace anointed me and me alone.
Only non-witches get due process.

Why shouldn't I? Isn't that exactly what you did to me when you labeled me as a "Trumpist" and said I was a "follower"?

Where did I do that? I actually called his followers trumpeters, which was supposed to be an amusing play on words.
I know, I know, these are serious times. No room for humour when we're saving the world.

Biden has been in politics over 40 years. He didn't accomplish a damned thing during those 40 years, so there's no reason to believe he will now.

Fun exercise @taiwan_girl ! Yes I’d put myself in CR for sure.

Well I have observed that you anointed yourself. But subtle subtleties are subtle.
