For those who don't follow the Trump cult as closely as I do, here's how the Trump rally opened:

A co-host of former President Donald Trump’s one-time favorite cable news program turned on the 76-year-old Monday, calling his celebration of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot during a weekend campaign rally “absolutely awful” and “insane.”
Trump, who is seeking a non-consecutive second term in the White House, opened his Saturday event in Waco, Texas, by showing a video of the violence accompanied by the J6 Prison Choir’s song “Justice For All,” which features incarcerated rioters singing the national anthem as Trump recites the Pledge of Allegiance.
The song was ranked No. 8 on the Apple Music charts as of Monday.
“Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade was left aghast at the campaign’s decision, calling it “insane.”
“He should be running from that, period,” he said of Trump. “I don’t care his point of view, that is not a good thing for him. I thought that was absolutely awful. Even though he is winning in the polls, that will not help.”
Sophisticated and dignified Trump cultists on this forum, I assume, are not in the camp of "January 6th should be ritually celebrated in Trump rallies as if it's a moment of spiritual renewal or something".
But then again, a year before the event happened I would've assumed these same Trump cultists on PaRD would not be minimizing or defending January 6th, so perhaps they just need to be witnessed to from the true Trump cultists. They haven't yet been truly born again.
John McWhorter is a smart thinker who has come up with the idea that the far-left woke crowd has created a sort of religion, which has certain rituals, taboos, and shunning, and I don't think it's absurd to equate the Trump cult to that sort of mindset. What's most interesting to me is that the Trump cultists on this forum are not particularly religious, at least in a serious sense, which aligns with my view(not that it's original) that people need some spiritually higher calling in life. Otherwise they are left to worldly things, like seeking justice or joining a personality cult.
