I actually think this too. If you go a few pages back I said I thought her statement was born purely out of not fully knowing or understanding what she was talking about. Along with some elitism with how she grew up. I also said it didn't make her an evil person(until proven otherwise) .

So according to
"Characteristics Associated with Cultic Groups - Revised"
By Janja Lalich, Ph.D. & Michael D. Langone, Ph.D.
One fo the things on the checklist is:
Seems they may have a point....-The most loyal members (true believers) feel there can be no life outside the context of the group or group think. They believe there is no other way to be, and often fear reprisals to themselves or others if they leave (or even consider leaving) the group or group think.
Not sure what you are trying to say here. To clear up what I'm saying ...For the President in the USA to be elected it would usually take more than the votes of his party to be elected. He would have to have votes from both sides to gain a majority vote.
That is just how voting works in general btw....

There may be some elitist attitude in that she has, to my knowledge, spent her entire life since childhood as a Hollywood star and doesn't have much firsthand experience of the society of the average person. Granted you could say that about many celebrities but someone who was a child start and never lost their star status is another matter. It doesn't seem to apply to Alyssa Milano though I'm sure there are those who would just assume it does because of her connection to #MeToo. But when you've been raped- twice- it's a very understandable cause.
Power with Girl is better.
I'll let you in on something. This typically isn't how anyone frames their arguments, except for people trying really damn hard to say "both sides."
(And this doesn't just apply to voting. This applies to things like Larson's comments and the reactions that followed.)
I said some of this in early threads.
But the actions/upbringing/ whatever does not align with anyone else. Brie made the comments and whatever influences she had took her to those conclusions. Right. Wrong. Indifferent. It is what it is, ya know?
Are you saying that I'm not neutral now? It's hard to tell.
If so that would be another Characterization in:
"Characteristics Associated with Cultic Groups - Revised"
By Janja Lalich, Ph.D. & Michael D. Langone, Ph.D.
The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society.

Riiiiight.....you keep thinking that neither side is capable of independent thought and would never vote outside of their party.
