Back on topic: I think all political parties could apply to this cult list. No matter what, groupthink always occurs amongst people who share similar beliefs.

And by other groups, political parties would be included. It is all just how one spins it.

You can’t be part of a cult if you can’t agree on anything, or take a stand on an issue for more than 5 minutes. :rolleyes:

Yeah, but what kind of cult are the Republicans if they are currently tracking to nominate a pro-choice candidate for president?

The party isn't the cult, it is just an umbrella for a lot of little cults. It may just be that the Republican-associated mini-cults get along better most of the time than the Democrat-associated mini-cults.
