Voting to acquit is bad enough itself, but what makes it worse is when they attack any Republican who did vote to impeach (Cheney; Cassidy; etc.) as Republicans In Name Only. No - they are showing that they are Americans more than members of a Trump cult who will do anything to defend their leader. They kicked Cheney, a principled, steadfast conservative, off as Chair of the House Republican Conference because she criticized a former president for inciting insurrection. The GOP should just rename themselves the Cult of Trump, and the only requirement to join the CoT is blindly supporting Trump and insisting irrationally that the election was stolen.

Also since when was blindly supporting Trump in believing that the election was stolen a requirement? Literally less than 10 senators voted to object to the results.

Is Maxine Waters a Gore cultist? Is Barbara Boxer a Kerry cultist? Is Tom Rice a Trump cultist despite literally voting to impeach him?

To your point on senators - yes, that's true, but 139 House Republicans did so.
To your second points, no, no and no. Rice is moronic for trying to object to election results (I get why Waters objected to Bush's FL 'win,' but honestly, I have to say even Boxer voting to object to OH's results was unnecessary and unfounded) - but the real cultists are the ones who continue defending Trump even after January 6. Not every Republican who voted not to impeach Trump is necessarily a cultist, but a lot of them are, since they turned a blind eye to insurrection. Maybe 'cultist' is an exaggeration, but honestly, some Republicans like MTG behave like they are in a Trump cult (which they arguably are in).
