    Your definition of worship is weirdly loose. Like bizarrely loose. Following someone on Twitter, which is a weird thing to do in itself because why would you be on a Nazi website which says a lot about her I think, doesn’t mean you worship them. Do I worship windy.com because I’m subscribed to their weather app? Your neighbor says hi to you where they worshiping you? Oh I turned on the TV I was worshiping anything I’m watching. What just a completely ludicrous definition.

    The context here is conservatives who worship Donald Trump to the point where they build golden Idols for him. And you’re comparing getting alerts when someone post a message as the same thing. Wow

      It’s almost like… they’ve taken a different definition of the word to fit a narrative! But that can’t be right, they’re clearly discussing this in good faith!

      My definition of worship is calibrated to Trump. It is liking someone for their personality, not their policies or actions.

      AOC is worshiped. Bernie less so. Obama a lot more so. However you define Trump worship, you can find (less extreme) parallels on the left.

      This is not criticism. The whole job of a politicians is to be worshiped, so that you are given the power to enact your policies.

        It’s clearly not calibrated Trump. Because I’ve never seen anyone make a golden idol to Bernie Sanders. Obama hats and flags aren’t flying all over my neighborhood. Nobody bases their entire persona around Cortez. So if you’re calibrated to Trump your comparison is ridiculous.
