No rebuttal?

Just generic statement about cult.

It's not a generic statement. Any rebuttal is useless. Those deeply in the cult don't want a discussion they just want to state their beliefs they regard as fact and point out that others who don't share those beliefs are wrong.

List of characterize by a cult......

Absolute authoritarianism without accountability
Zero tolerance for criticism or questions
Lack of meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget
Unreasonable fears about the outside world that often involve evil conspiracies and persecutions
A belief that former followers are always wrong for leaving and there is never a legitimate reason for anyone else to leave
Abuse of members
Records, books, articles, or programs documenting the abuses of the leader or group
Followers feeling they are never able to be “good enough”
A belief that the leader is right at all times
A belief that the leader is the exclusive means of knowing “truth” or giving validation

Remind you of anybody or group?

blunter is not a cultist in way or form.

The response of cult, after listing bhunter's arguments, indicates lack of substance, just fluff. A way to hide under "cult".

I am not ignoring the point. The point was made and is understood. I am amplifying ...she went with the legacy media which are very expensive.

I wouldn't characterize it as a mandate, but he did win the popular vote. Walk down a street in SF, Los Angeles, or San Diego and tell me what a great job the democrats have done. It's bordering on absurd.

Choosing to respond on just a couple.

The original anti-vax movement was only about linking polio vaccine to autism without any proof whatsoever. With the advent of Covid, this movement got new legs and more importantly alternate treatments and a lot of lives were lost. Of course, you won't agree that Trump was the cause of almost a million Covid deaths by debunking the vaccines.There were several anti-vax threads that got shut down on AK; why was that?

If SF, LA and SD are so bad, why are the real estate prices so high and continue to rise? Or don't you believe in supply and demand? Also consider that UCLA, UC Berkley, UCSD and US Davis are some of the best schools in the US for just about everything; Engineering, Medicine, Business & Law. And most students seek jobs nearby and then become permanent residents of that city. Perhaps the state of CA should ban out of state students from seeking employment locally upon graduation.

You have any idea how large the facilities of Apple and Google are in the Bay Area (Silicon Valley)? Think they would consider locating to Alabama? Or better yet, Mississippi where I heard one can buy a home for under $100K whereas in the cities you mentioned, doubt one can be had under a $1M.

I doubt he's taken a walk in any of those cities. He's merely parroting.

I looked at a number of his posts to determine he appears to be of the cult, the disinformation is strong with that one.
His view of Joe Biden seems detached from reality to me.
