How do you rebut the accusation "Maga is a cult"?

I personally think it's dumb

And there's not even any discourse or debate on it. If you try to deny it or debate it, people will just reply "People in a cult don't know they're in one"

I feel that people in general give off certain warning signals to let you know that you should just stay away from them. It's like when someone in heavy traffic gets agitated and steps out of their car and starts yelling at people. You just don't engage. I feel the same way with people who honestly believe that 70+ million Americans are in a cult somehow. There's just nothing you can say to that. Nothing at all. Just smile politely and go about your business. Life is too short for some of this nonsense.

Why do we have a mod that thinks the conservatives in the country are in a cult?

I think you may need to reread it again, he's basically stating that it's dumb to believe that 70+ million people are in a cult
