Reuters is "reporting" Dozens of former Bush officials leave Republican Party, calling it 'Trump cult', which helps no one - least of all the former Bush officials - who are not cult experts, or even well-versed in the topic. Actual cult experts (who any journalist could've consulted for this article) say:
"Politicizing the word “cult” and using it to label Trump supporters serves no useful or constructive purpose. It dismissively demonizes a majority of the Republican party and other voters that support Donald Trump without recognizing their preexisting personal sentiments. This inaccurate labeling also denigrates the suffering of real cult victims."
So this Reuters headline should've actually read:
Dozens of former Bush officials leave Republican Party - hurting their own party's future political prospects - and everybody's just rolling over cult victims, willy-nilly, without a care. As long as they get Trump.
