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.

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.
