(15,325 posts)After awhile don't all Cultists morph into each other's dark psychosys to the point where 'creep' becomes the obvious standout feature?
I think its what brings cults together & keeps them together. That one common feature
Like Epsteins pedo group.
Trump cultists have a special kind of creepy bond also.

(9,256 posts)The college is affiliated with the Wisconsin Synod, a very right-wing Lutheran sect (not ELCA, the normal Lutherans, which is pretty liberal). Im sure theyre still Trumpers and calling us baby-killers.

Those are the WisSyns. And believe you me, they are HARD right. I know. I grew up there. This is a SERIOUS slap.

(54 posts)That church fully supports Trump and Pence.. I am sure maybe the VP pussed out from going with everything going on in Wisconsin. I would hardly think this will cause vote swings one way or another.

(139 posts)The Board of Regents might have worried about protestors disrupting the ceremony and followed Saul Alinksy's idea of doing the right thing for the wrong reason.

They're not doing this as a concession to the commie protesters.
Mikie probably asked them to cancel him.

(114 posts)Reading a "friend's" comments who is an orange devil fan......this is the repugs explanation-the college was afraid VP Pence would get hurt so asked him not to come for his own safety.

(81,107 posts)They can rationalize pretty much everything, can't they!
The only people playing rough are on THAT side of the aisle. Things in Portland didn't start getting overheated, to begin with, until the stormtroopers arrived.
