Nah. That's not true at all.

There are tons and tons of videos on social media of people literally praying to Trump.

We don't do shit like that.

There is a lot of truth to it. Just criticize or bring up one of the many objectively bad things Biden has done and then wait for the Blue MAGA individuals to come out of the woodwork telling you he's "the most progressive president in modern history" and that he deserves our unwavering support just because he has a (D) next to his name.

I'm sure a lot of this is rooted in fear around him losing the election, but these people have their heads buried in the sand and can't see that the Democrats are handing the election to Trump just like they did in 2016 because they'd rather maintain the status quo and push right wing candidates like Clinton and Biden than help the American people by allowing a real progressive into the office.

There's a huge difference between saying someone is doing good, and literally praying to them in their absence. Like, have you seen the videos of people filming themselves praying to Donald trump to free them of ? They exist.
