I'm beginning to wonder whether perhaps there's a cult out there to snag *all* of us. We think we're above that because we'd never join the Christians or NXVIM or QAnon, but then along comes something that speaks to our psychological weakness - on the loony left's side, the almost obsessive need for 'inclusivity' and the fear you might otherwise be 'oppressing' a 'marginalized group'.
The left strikes me as being a collection of cults, although not everyone on the left is part of one, or any. There's the antiracism cult; the trans cult; the feminism cult, the anti-colonialism cult; the queer cult (which is very amorphous). I don't pay as much attention to the right anymore but clearly Trump is a cult leader as is QAnon.
Someone else help me out: Are there right-wing cults besides these two you're seeing?
For me my thought is often, why should that issue belong to a political party or its default current ideology?

Agreed.
