That is just one of the signs that the whole thing has turned in to a cult and that is extremely dangerous. I have heard here locally people saying he is their savior and now they see him as a figure to idolatry. When I see and hear that, it gives chills to my bones and feel saddened. It may look funny but again, truly saddening. I don't think these are bad people but I certainly don't think they are capable to see how badly they have been influenced. Where one goes the rest follows regardless of the merit.but praying for DT
I agree with you in all of that.No matter what, there are always people who worship their country's leader, no matter if that leader is worthy of that praise or not. I'm pretty sure there's a small group of people in north korea who worship the Kim's as if they were gods.
Rational folks realize that they're just humans and not gods, but some people just have such empty lives, they just latch on to anything that even remotely feels positive to them. Kinda sad really, and I say that as someone who primarily votes Republican. I have voted for some Democrats and libertarians based on what they've said and done in the past - I'm not a straight ticket voter. Nevermind the fact that you can't actually vote straight ticket in Texas anymore - they actually passed a law to remove that option not that long ago.

Until the US Supreme Court makes a decision the video is premature.
We have a unique situation here in Vermont in that we have three major political parties, Republican, Democrat and Progressive. From 2017 to the present we have had a Republican Governor and Progressive Party Lieutenant Governor. Things are kind of old school here; everyone tends to be fairly civil towards one another when it comes to politics and many people tend to vote for the best candidate regardless of which party they represent. Going forward we will have a Republican Governor and a Democrat for Lieutenant Governor. Governor Phil Scott just won his third term in a landslide victory and he didn't even campaign; instead choosing to focus on the COVID crisis and the state economy for which he has been universally acclaimed due to his deft, rational and transparent handling of the situation which led in part to his wide support among the voters. The same can be said for his team of government cabinet officials who are part of the effort and nobody seems to pay much attention to their individual party affiliations. The same can be said about our Secretary of State, Jim Condos, a Democrat who is popular enough to have been in office since 2011 and just won another term. He's recently been praised for doing a fabulous job handling this pandemic election. Between September 21st and October 1st, all active registered voters got a ballot in the mail that they could return in the mail, drop off at their local town clerks office, deposit in a secure ballot box or bring to their polling places on election day. There was also a robust and well crafted absentee ballot process, optimized for COVID but more or less the same as it has previously been. All ballots are paper and scanned, so there is a traceable history. There was a process in place so that ALL votes got tabulated by the end of election day and there have been no reported anomalies or complaints. Vermont was one of the first states to report official results.
Aside from the three major political parties we do have quite a few other smaller and lesser well known ones active here in Vermont and they do get votes. Of course a few of these parties are not that small or obscure and will be more familiar than others.
Libertarian
Liberty Union (Bernie Sanders was once a member back in the early 1970s)
Green
Independent
Grumpy Old Patriots (their 2020 presidential nominees got 1,175 votes!)
American Solidarity
Constitution
Socialist Workers
Boiling Frog
Prohibition
Bread & Roses
Alliance
Approval
(emphasis by me)The delusions of these people is sad and the people who believe them even sadder.
To be honest, the democrats were claiming voting fraud and russian interference after Trump got elected in 2016. He is perfectly entitled to start legal cases although I must admit he is really starting make himself look silly now.
