I am voting for Trump and as he never apologizes to anyone, I shall follow in his great example and will also never apologize for supporting DeSantis in the primary.
I want to beat Joe Biden and thus I am voting for Trump.
Some of you have called me a shill, a DeSimp, a retard and a few of you told me to eat shit and die.
I don't even care about any of that and I want no apology from any of you.
I just want to beat Biden.
We are all in the same political coalition and that means focusing our attention against Joe not each other.

All I'm saying is for calling everyone else deranged Trump cultists for pointing out fairly obvious issues with DeSantis, I'd like to see an apology. He doesn't have to, and I don't expect him to. Most of them never will, despite doing crazier shit than OTP ever did, including slandering Richard Baris as a disgraced junkie.
I think he's acted like a shill because not only has he refused to recognize even very basic issues with DeSantis' campaign, but he's also tried to ingratiate White Nationalists to back DeSantis, despite that being an obviously silly attempt even by their admission (particularly after his antisemitism law stunt).

Every time I've seen him call people 'Trump cultists', it's people who are Trump or bust. So if your recollection is a remotely accurate characterization, then you are justified, but I don't think it is.

If that makes a cultist, then nearly everyone is in big trouble. Because refusing to recognize very basic issues in people you like or their campaigns is fairly universal.
I support Trump, but I was called a Trump cultist even though I wanted Larry Elder to win. Similarly, I don't think JD Vance was carried by Mike DeWine. I said that DeSantis did some good things, but was being terribly mislead by Bushites who were probably going to try and tank both DeSantis' and Trump's political careers. That is why I was called a cultist.
That's not a cultist, and I don't call anyone who is a die-hard DeSantis supporter a Cultist. Dave Rubin is not a cultist. He genuinely supports DeSantis, but he's also a shill for Ron. Meghan Kelly falls in that same boat.
Yes, you are a shill if you are refusing to acknowledge basic issues with people you like. If I were to say, "Larry Elder has no major flaws", that would be a bullshit lie because he lost to Gavin Newsom. That's not only shilling for Larry Elder, but bad shilling at that. I can be an adult about this and not stake my identity on being a propagandist for someone. Even if you are going to be a propagandist, you need to have a counter-argument, not an insult.

Then you haven't been around enough. In fact IIRC he's even one of those NPC-esque commenters that uses the royal "you" to refer to everyone on the forum, as if we're all one blob.
Though I disagree with your definition of cultist as well. The phrase applied to Trump was specifically crafted to invoke the idea of a "cult of personality" around the man, like some dictator. That his core voter base is a pitchfork wielding gaggle of fawning acolytes, rather than a broad coalition of the center-right and people disaffected by politics. By your definition someone could personally despise Trump, yet still be a 'Trump cultist' somehow because they don't think anyone else would be an effective choice in the office and voting for Uniparty Choice A vs Uniparty Choice B doesn't matter.
Lmao fuck you Tony, this pissant was doing the Destankis supporter meme of being a holier than thou, condescending shitbag nevertrumper calling all of us delusional, cultists, morons, what have you.
I'm not a worm who lets disrespect like that slide without some form of sincere apology. Suddenly "well it's clear Ron never stood a chance 🤓" after all that ain't working.
I still don't trust you, and I still think you're a shill, but one thing is incontrovertible:
you owe an apology to about half the people here.

Alright, I admit that I walked into that one.
MAGA 2024.
We all have more in common than things we disagree on.
I got nothing personal against any of you here.
People care a lot about who the nominee is and have thus sometimes said things that should have not been said.
He owes no one an apology, and if anything, anyone calling him a shill owes him an apology. He's one of the original Option 4 voters.
If you want to continue infighting over ego when effectively you're on the same side now, that really is on you.

I'm not going to fight with him, I never have.

Interesting that you think that demanding apologies from people means that you have self-respect...
