    What you said is:

    Trump is a cult that dies with him.

    And you justified it by claiming it’s “evolutionary biology”. Substantiate that claim.

      Evolutionary basis of cults:

      https://csuepress.columbusstate.edu/context/theses_dissertations/article/1356/viewcontent/best_2018.pdf

      Source that cults fail after their leader dies:

      The People’s Temple (Jonestown)

      Heaven’s Gate

      The Branch Davidians

      Children of God

      Order of the Solar Temple

      Aum Shinrikyo

      Modern Cults that survived their leader’s death:

      Mormons and Scientology.

        Those are literal cults, not cults of personality. Trump supporters aren’t living with him in a compound, genius.

        And that paper isn’t about evolutionary biology anyway, stop just linking whatever and hoping no-one checks

          Cults aren’t defined by people living in a compound.

          And that paper isn’t about evolutionary biology

          The paper referenced evolutionary reasons for cults.

            Fucks sake. What are you trying to accomplish here? Everyone can see you’re just behaving in bad faith

              You threw out the term Great Man theory without even understanding it.

              I’ve refuted every single argument with sources and you keep arguing.

              I stated the fact with sources: Cults have an evolutionary basis I stated the fact with sources: Cults tend to die when the leader dies.

              You have nothing in reply.

              I believe you push Great Man Theory into arguments even when it doesn’t apply to absolve Trump of any responsibility.

                Again, what are you trying to accomplish here? Nobody is going to miss your obvious bad faith.

                  You keep claiming bad faith when I addressed your arguments directly.

                  I think outing a Trump apologist is useful.

      Evolutionary justification for cults:

      Cults tend to die with their leaders. I’ve listed many of the cults that died in this thread. Cults surviving the death of their leader is the exception.

          You asked for sources and I gave them. You lost and you’ve been outed as a Trump apologist.
