    There is a "cult of personality" in the DPRK, where everyone praises the Premier Kim and his family.

    In the US, many people have a "cult of personality" and praises President Trump and his family.

    In the DPRK, most of the people are not true believers however. In the US, most of the people are.

    Not sure which is worse. 🤷

    Kim and Don should do a cooking show together, now that the Two Fat Ladies are no more. They could ride around the countryside on a motorbike and side-car, visiting old country houses. I'd certainly pay to watch it.

    I was only joking

          Any cult of personality is bad. When a person becomes bigger than the policy's or issues, (almost) all the time, the result is not good.

                This one is happening in @Mik’s backyard.

                https://www.politico.com/news/2021/05/24/jane-timken-trump-senate-490504
                — — — —
                During Jane Timken’s tenure as Ohio’s GOP chair, Donald Trump won the one-time bellwether state by a whopping 8 percentage points. She put 150,000 miles on her car driving to the state’s 88 counties as a surrogate for the president. And she raised a total of $5 million for his two campaigns.

                But that sterling record of MAGA support might not be enough to guarantee the former president’s support in her bid for the GOP Senate nomination. Timken’s sin? In her capacity as state party chair, she failed to immediately condemn home-state Republican congressman, Anthony Gonzalez, for voting to impeach Trump in response to the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6.

                At the time, Timken said the congressman had a “rational reason why he voted that way. I think he’s an effective legislator, and he’s a very good person.”

                That statement is proving costly. In a Republican Party where a candidate’s viability is measured in degrees of fealty to the former president, the crowded field of primary opponents is insisting Timken has failed a key test.

                Days after entering the Senate race in February, Timken changed gears and called on Gonzalez to resign. But despite that — and despite calling both Trump impeachments a “sham” — Timken’s foes and two dozen conservative activists penned an open letter this weekend to the state Republican Party that called on primary voters to reject her candidacy.
                ...

                        Former GOP Speaker of the House Paul Ryan urges the GOP to reject Trump and his second-rate imitators.

                        Emerging from two years of relative silence, former House Speaker Paul Ryan has joined the fight against Donald Trump, urging fellow conservatives to reject the former president’s divisive politics and those Republican leaders who emulate him.
                        .
                        Ryan made his remarks during a Thursday evening address at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California. He was critical of both Republicans and Democrats, though he saved his sharpest barbs for Trump, who is by most measures the leader of the modern-day Republican Party.
                        .
                        “It was horrifying to see a presidency come to such a dishonorable and disgraceful end,” Ryan said, referring to the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol that Trump inspired on Jan. 6.
                        .
                        “Once again, we conservatives find ourselves at a crossroads,” Ryan continued. “And here’s the reality that we have to face: If the conservative cause depends on the populist appeal of one personality, or on second-rate imitations, then we’re not going anywhere. Voters looking for Republican leaders want to see independence and mettle. They will not be impressed by the sight of yes-men and flatterers flocking to Mar-a-Lago.”

                          I suspect Ryan is more beloved by the Demonrats, than he is by the GOP.

                                Before Paul Ryan, there was another GOP Speaker of the House, John Boehner, who is also rather critical of Trump. @Jolly probably thinks that Boehner sucked, too.
