Hello Aaron!

 There's always a good chance you fit the sterotype. That's why they're sterotypes.

 But it's far more likely you'll fall into the "Crossfit" "Vegan" and/or "Linux User" category.

 You know the joke. "How can you tell if someone is  a Vegan/Crossfitter/Linux User?"

 "Don't worry, they'll tell you"

 It's been my experience that many people that are all in on Trump fit into that category as well.

 MM>> But it's not a cult, right?

 AT> It's not religious devotion to Trump, it's just political devotion.

 First, it doesn't have to be "religious" to be a cult.  Plenty of cults were not religious in nature.

 Second, to this day, people still talk about Ronald Regan with similar devotion.

 I'm not talking about that. Trump is always railing on about China. How bad China is. etc. etc.

 Are you saying you're also all in on the "Do as I say, not as I do?" thing?  Hypocrisy is OK with you?


Mike
