I don't think Trump supporters can be accurately called Republicans. Their political views are more compatible with right wing extremists. It is my sincere hope they stop using the Republican Party as a front. The party is doomed if they don't.
Yeah, we heard that a few years ago, before Trump was elected. If the party didn’t moderate they would split and never win another presidency because they were too far right. Guess what? They were WRONG!

Now the same is being said about democrats. They are way too far left for a lot of people. We shall see what happens.

I don't see where she said that. I believe she wants to know if fanatics- for example the furthest right and left wing people- exhibit traits such as though found within a cult. And why some of those follow Trump BLINDLY. Because idc if the guy is Jesus Christ. You should always be able to question your leader. Which Jesus didn't mind but Trump bitterly does.
She (the OP) actually exemplifies some of those qualities in her devotion to the Obamas and more recently Hillary and most of the Democratic Party. No matter what is said about either of them she has some excuse, usually that it’s a racist or misogynistic, a lie or some conspiracy.

It is both maddening and amusing to see her doing the same things she accuses conservatives and/or republicans doing while completely denying it.

I'm speaking of the future. The Republican Party has become a harbor for white supremacists, nationalists, and those with fascist tendencies. All those things are the antithesis of what our country is supposed to stand for. Unless Republicans purge their party of those elements it won't survive in the long term.

No, you use left to far left sites. That is a fact, and I have posted the media bias from fact check numerous times. Pssst, that means they are as trustworthy, or not, as Breitbart and other sites you mention.

Okay. Back as far as 2012, maybe before that we were constantly being told on CM by democrats that the Republican Party was too conservative, too far right. Unless they moved to the center the party would implode and never win the presidency again for a long long long time if ever.

Guess what? They were wrong.

It is now being said about the democrats. A lot of the party is way too far left for many voters. We shall see what happens.

Does the Republican Party want the undesirable people you mentioned? Hell no. Please explain how to keep them from registering as republicans. For that matter, I am sure there are all kinds of unsavory members of the democrat party also, like the anti-fa people.

Wow, you are such a liar. I don’t use Breitbart. In fact if you look at any of the very few links I use they are mainstream so the article is not dismissed because of the source.

You regularly use left, and most often far left sources. Vox, Daily Kos are 2 you use quite a bit.

Overall, we rate Vox Left Biased due to wording and story selection that routinely favors the left. We also rate them Mostly Factual in reporting, rather than High, due to two failed fact checks, with only one offering a correction.

Overall, we rate the Daily Kos strongly Left Biased based on story selection that almost exclusively favors the left. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to non-vetted content as well as a few failed fact check and misleading claims.

Actually, Trump used some cult-tactics to gather faithful followers. And he succeeded in creating a cultist following.
