    Here is another tip- YOUR POLITICAL ADVERSARIES ARE NOT WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING JUST BECAUSE THEY DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU!

    I enjoy hearing both sides to every issue.

    The problem is, it's not about issues anymore. TRUMP CHANGED ALL OF THAT!

    IT'S NOW ABOUT CULT OF PERSONALITY!

    AND THAT IS CRAZY TOWN.

    TO MY FELLOW DEMOCRATS- PLEASE DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO OUR PARTY!

    JUST LOOK HOW CULT OF PERSONALITY HAS RUINED THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!

    A cult of personality, or cult of the leader, arises when a country's regime – or, more rarely, an individual I.E. DONALD TRUMP– uses the techniques of mass media, propaganda, the big lie, spectacle, the arts, patriotism, and government-organized demonstrations and rallies to create an idealized, heroic, and worshipful image of a leader, often through unquestioning flattery and praise. A cult of personality is similar to apotheosis, except that it is established by modern social engineering techniques, usually by the state or the party in one-party states and dominant-party states. It is often seen in totalitarian or authoritarian countries.

    Oddly sensible. You might get canceled by your fellow DEMOCRATS for saying that.

    Trump is not wrong on issues necessarily- neither are you- BUT THERE ARE HIDDEN AGENDA'S BEHIND THE WAY HE CARRIED OUT HIS POLICIES- AND THERE ARE HIDDEN AGENDA'S IN WHY YOU WANTED DONALD TRUMP TO CARRY OUT HIS POLICIES!

    An acronym is made up of parts of the phrase it stands for and is pronounced as a word (ex: NATO); an initialism is an acronym that is pronounced as individual letters (ex: DNA).
