No, it's being afraid that if it came out, the actual cult leader would have an easy path to the White House again.
It's obvious that Biden needed to announce a year ago that he wouldn't run again. But he didn't, so the spin machine went into work. It's the same thing that Fox News and Trump apologists do every day. For example, I don't think Hannity is a cultist, I think he's a an evil yet intelligent piece of shit making millions off of rubes.
Making your candidate look better than he is doesn't make it a cult. Trying to violently overthrow an election does.
