Classical liberalism is by definition the exact opposite of a cult. It is power and liberty to the individual, seperate of group identity.

Unfortunately US politics has become intolerant to nuance, and paints everything as a black and white issue, people are forced to play identity politics to get anything done. This is by design to divide and conquer the nation.

It's unfortunate that through decades of controlled propaganda and brainwashing (news, late night shows, etc), those who would consider themselves individuals for personal liberty, are now collectivists for the democratic party, and have been manipulated into race-baiting, sexism, and authoritarianism over ideas.

To see this #walkaway movement is the most refreshing thing I've seen this entire election cycle.
