Cult member and racist are equally lazy cop outs designed only to shut down


any reasonable discourse. Not unlike calling someone a Socialist, Communist, Nazi, Fascist, etc.

To call someone a cult member is to suggest they simply can't think on their own a la a Jim Jones follower. No different than if we righties call you TDSers cult members that can't think on your own past your blind hatred of Trump. I would argue it requires exactly thinking on your own to come to an opposing view, whether that lands you supporting Biden or Trump.

This isn't about being thin skinned. You can call me whatever you want, but if your goal is to convince me to join, or sway me to your side, you're not going to be very effective by calling me, or anyone, one of those things. When you start by putting people on the defensive, especially when they know it not to be true, human nature will force them to dig in their heels, not change.
