    Okay. Okay. Sounds reasonable... aaaaand there it is. Why does it always have to devolve into weird culty shit?

    “In 2016 I attended the Mencken conference in question and delivered a stand-alone, academic talk titled ‘The Intelligentsia and the Right.’ I said nothing objectionable and stand by my remarks completely,” Beattie said in the statement. “It was the honor of my life to serve in the Trump Administration. I love President Trump, who is a fearless American hero, and continue to support him one hundred percent. I have no further comment.”

      Tbh it doesn't sound too culty the other way around.

      "It was the honor of my life to serve in the Obama Administration. I love President Obama, who is a fearless American hero, and continue to support him one hundred percent."

        No, that still sounds hella culty. Obama worship is pretty weird too. I think it's the hyperbolization in the "fearless American hero" part.

          That's fair, and I'm personally against celebrity worship. Maybe I'm reading the statements too generously.
