Has the Republican Party become 'a cult'?

US prosecutors have charged Donald Trump for attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 Election. It’s the second federal indictment brought against the former president in as many months.

We knew this was on the way.

Ron de Santis keeps saying the word “ woke “ but Republican voters just keep getting turned off by him.

And Hunter Biden’s business associate has claimed Joe Biden joined more than twenty work calls with his son - while he was Vice-President. A pretty major breach if the current president was improperly involved in his son's business proceedings, but how damaging could that be for the current incumbent of the White House?
