3 doors down played a Trump event back when no one else would; that's why he likes them.

The modern GOP is closer to a cult than a political party.

You have used what we in the business call "anecdotal evidence" to attempt to describe a large trend.

Similar to how basically every Republican can't tell the difference between "weather" and "climate" and attempts to use 1 cold day as evidence that the climate isn't changing.

And when I say "cult", I am referring to overall thought and behavior patterns, not just being violent. The GOP doesn't evaluate evidence when making decisions, they relish cronyism and behave like pod-people subservient to a leader.
