President Donald Trump’s political supporters have long been described as cult-like, from their willingness to change their ideology based on Trump’s whims to their reflexive distrust of established experts. In light of the Republican leader’s politically devastating losses in the 2026 midterm elections, these same true believers are now angry at every voter who did not stand by their man, at least according to a recent in-depth study.
“Last week we assembled a focus group of Republicans who voted for President Trump in both 2020 and 2024, and who, except for some local elections, voted straight-ticket Republican in this year’s midterms,” wrote polling expert Sarah Longwell in The Bulwark on Sunday.
“In my conversation with these voters, one thing became abundantly clear in their cacophony of cope: They were not blaming Trump,” Longwell added. “Instead, they were blaming the GOP candidates on the ticket for being terrible. They were blaming social media for pushing Trump Derangement Syndrome. And they were blaming their fellow Americans, who they insisted were just too brainwashed and emotional to just hold their noses and vote for the terrible candidates that Republicans offered them.”
Probably the fact that she was part of the coordinated attack on Hasan Piker. She’s also not as good at her job as she purports to be.
Hmm… OK, I can understand that criticism. I’m not a really big fan of Hasan Piker, myself, but I do think that some of her criticisms were unfair and even mean-spirited.
I like The Bulwark because it helps give me a more balanced perspective, but I have to remember all of them are a bunch of ex-Republican never-Trumpers, and it seems they still have some of their old bad habits.
What kinda Hassan cult fuck are you?
Who tf gives a frog’s fat ass about some influencer on twitch?
I’ve seen such similar traits of cult like behavior from you weird ass Piker-Cucks.
Read something. Touch grass and grow tf up.
Basement dwelling Pi-kuk
Bruh tell that to the Bulwark, and to Haley Stevens, and Andrew Cuomo, and to the dipshits at CNN who keep bringing him up. Trump mentioned him at his rallies. Netanyahu mentioned him AT THE UN. It’s not Piker fans bringing him up all the time. It’s the GOP and AIPAC and weirdos like you lol
You’re very clearly trying to project your own piker obsessions and personal shortcomings onto everyone else. Stop that. ✋️
Bruh, ur assessment of my angle is just straight wrong. I have no fucks to give or skin in the influencer game whatsoever. I never once even heard his voice until Amy Goodman interviewed him on Democracy Now election night coverage. I’ve been astounded that he’s getting platformed by everyone and thought, hell may as well hear what he has to say. I was left underwhelmed and perplexed why he gets so much coverage and noise.
Day after some weird ass Pi-kuck, like you, got all high and mighty claiming if not Hassan there would be no bluenami, LOfuckingL
Now I come here today and you’re projecting Pi’kuc-kult weirdness and again, wtf.
Fuck twitch, weirdo influencers and their low-iq followers and especially fuck all you cultists whether maga or Piker. Read a fucking book. Get out of the basement, grow a garden, walk your fucking dog.
Most importantly shut-thefuckup
Unhinged
Lovely word that, and so applicable to your ramblings
Yeah I’m not reading all that. Take your own advice and go outside, loser.
