This article is more than 2 years old. but totally explains to behavior of the left since the election. Modern liberalism is a cult, and not a political ideology anymore. They have their "leaders," and a "correct" way of thinking. Anyone who goes against the group (Trump voters) must be scorned.

Liberalism is one of the many religions for empty God-less people.

LGBT is also a cult.

If you do not believe it criticize them and watch the persecution that comes your way.

There are two roads you can follow: the broad one that leads to destruction, or the narrow one leading to salvation. The broad one is popular, promising a worldly utopia if everyone just falls in line and denounces those fools on the narrow path. It satisfies the animal side of humans, saying there is no right and wrong, just what feels good and what doesn’t—so just do what feels good, nothing else matters. If anyone disagrees, call them a bigot, a racist, or a fascist. The worse you can make them look, the better you’ll look. And appearances are all that matter anyway.

I like to think of it as the “Cult of the Utopian Collective”.

Think “Borg”.

More than just scorned. They must lose their jobs or be imprisoned for not catering to the party line.

I remember reading accounts of conservatives in Washington when it first became fashionable for liberals to abandon civility at gatherings, parties etc. and to publicly abuse conservatives. No longer were greetings and civilities exchanged and instead, the liberal socialite would claim the high ground by making a show of walking away when addressed by a conservative. I remember thinking it would make politics so much harsher if one displayed one’s opinion of others’ values and ideas so aggressively.

I didn’t know it was intentional, coordinated by the media and others. The sudden resort to public abuse was liberals opening the “culture war”; they couldn’t win in the marketplace of ideas so they decided to work together with media and government to shut opposing views out of the marketplace entirely. The way to do that? Alinsky tactics - behave as if conservatives are spouting shameful ideas and hateful bigotry whenever they speak. In some sense, it worked. Conservatives hide or tone down their thoughts.

In a MAJOR sense their tactics failed - we weren’t shouting them down at Starbucks, it was nice and quiet going to the polls, and at the polls we said whatever we wanted to say. They lost and it shocked them to the core because they had NO IDEA just how many people didn’t agree with them. Score for our side.

Just read an article on FR today wherein Kat Von D (Makeup artist/company) stripped a contest winner of their award strictly because they supported Trump on Facebook.
http://www.kansas.com/news/local/article162859068.html

The “artist” made it personal, stressing it was her personal opinion and values behind the move to strip the contestant of the prize. They haven’t given up on silencing us - it’s just not going very well for them.

And just as destructive and personally degrading as scientology (I watched the Netflix film “My Scientology Movie” yesterday)...

I’m actually surprised that will all the money our various spook agencies have burned through over the years, that there isn’t some CIA white paper sitting in some warehouse like the Arc of the Covenant that clearly identifies the left as possessing all the hallmark qualities of a dangerous cult.

Among other nasty things, it is a Useful Idiot-Group Think cult.

Well, the left aligns with Islam and it’s a cult, so yes; I think we can safely say liberalism/leftism is a cult.

It’s not really a cult. But it gathers large groups of people together by making them think that inside
The group is righteousness and outside is evil. Liberalism
Has no tenets that make
Sense. Their beliefs sway in the breeze and change often.

What liberalism really is today is a naïveté, a gullibility without peer. And because they are so rootless, they have been fully mesmerized by the actual socialist Left. The left always finds liberals useful and eventually expendable.

The Scientologists and other cults cultivate politicians:

Liberals are trying to immanentize the eschaton.

Never a good idea.

Herein I suggest reasons why American/European Liberalism and Islamic Extremism unite against Conservatives:

1. Both believe, as enemies of liberty, in one-world totalitarian government whether the Caliphate of one or the UN Globalism of the other.
2. Both humiliate women whether by the genital mutilation, Sharia Law, etc. of the one or the Abortion/Feminism of the other.
3. Both are deadly killers, whether by the Abortion/Crime/Suicide/Euthanasia of the one or by the honor-killing/terrorism/suicide-bombing of the other.

Conservatives and especially evangelical conservatives are not simply hated, but are a formidable obstacle which must be removed by any means necessary.
