2020 or Whatever

It seemed to me that this way of thinking was very similar to a cult or oppressive religion, the great leader is all good and has no faults.

That seems to be the mind set from both sides. 

I find it interesting that each side can see it so easily when looking at the opposing side, but they are completely blind when standing in the midst of the party they support.

I have been an independent for over 20 years and I see nothing appealing on either side that makes me even consider joining their ranks.

But you are right, cult like behavior is extremely off putting, regardless of the side it is emanating from.
