Nope. Just capitalism doing capitalism things. No need frame the issue as some sort of mass psychosis or cultural pathology when it’s clear that this devolution is a response to deteriorating material conditions. Calling fascism a cult is an ideological evasion. It’s the liberals’ convenient way of characterizing trump as an anomaly as opposed to a predictable symptoms of capitalist crisis. Liberals do this because it allows them to attempt to explain fascism without acknowledging that capitalism itself gives rise to such movements.
There is no Trump cult; there is only textbook, predictable fascism - which leftists have been warning liberals about for decades only to be laughed away. Reap what you sow.
My family would bend over backwards to end abortion access, but when I send them buckets of articles showing how people are harmed by Trump… well, either its fine or there is nothing they can do about it.
It’s A Cult.
Like, for realsies.

100% a cult.

It’s a cult. It just so happens that fascism is a kind of cult. Cults pop up in all sorts of circumstances, and capitalism is one of them.
It’s that too! But it’s also a cult. People who study cults for a living confirm the heck out of that.
I recommend this lady as a starting point if you’re curious. She’s former SpecOps.
