1/ FULL THREAD. Remember. Although many Trump cultists claim to be Conservatives and/or Christians, and scream "LIB-BRUH!" at anyone who dares to criticize him, what makes them a cult is how they do not hold Trump to any standards...
2/ ...shamelessly defend his transgressions against everything they claim to espouse, and go as far as equating their "conservatism, faith, and patriotism" with fealty to the corrupt orange menace.
3/ Examples...

When the "grab them by the pussy" Trump tapes came out, the cult said, "It's just locker room talk."

When vile Trump mimicked and mocked a disabled reporter, the cult bellowed "Trump mocks everyone like that."
4/ When tariff man Trump taxes American producers (not China), the cult nonsensically babble, "Somebody had to take China on!"

When the same socialist Trump, who touted "we will never be a socialist nation," doles out tens of billions in "replacement money" (his words)...
5/ ...for corporate farms hurt by his tariffs, the cult hypocritically say, "We always give subsidies to farmers."

Although fiscal liberal Trump spends like Obama on steroids, the cult falsely echoes how he needed to fix a "depleted" military.
6/ When big government Trump, who managed to veto Congress from stopping arms sales to Yemen and the Saudis, signs EVERY spending bill (including the largest omnibus in history, even with an R majority), the cult solely blame the D's and claim Trump cannot do anything about it.
7/ When inept Trump praised and staged photo-op stunts legitimizing NK dictator Kim Jong Un, even AFTER the communist leader continues missile testing, the cult ignorantly utter, "At least he's doing something.
8/ When betrayer of the Kurds Trump gave Turkey the green-light to massacre our allies against ISIS, the cult despicably claimed they were communists who deserved to die and/or that we cannot continue to fight endless wars.
9/ When it was exposed that conman Trump wasn't really bringing our troops home to "end endless wars," but relocated them as paid mercenaries to protect Saudi interests, the cult chanted "we have to protect the oil!!!"
10/ When decorated Veterans criticize or implicate draft-dodger Trump in wrongdoing, the cult will call them "traitors" and "agents of #DeepState."

Even though conman Trump epitomizes "Republican in name only," the cult dub any Republican who dares to step out of line "RINOS."
11/ And when all else fails, the cult vomits, "So... you wanted Hillary?"

Bottom line. While a litany of lies, conspiracy bunkum, ALT-REICH racism, and undying loyalty to an unscrupulous, inept, unhinged, self-serving fraud is certainly the core of Trumpism...
x/ Trumpism is the antithesis of Constitutional Conservatism and Scriptural Christianity.

NOTE: With Trump, it's not just a "read my lips" moment. He is a daily abomination who overwhelms Americans trying to keep score, thus there are many examples I've overlooked. #NeverTrump

1/ @SykesCharlie is correct to note that while he is still their party leader, the crazy in the GQP has metastasized beyond Trump.

With the orange shit stain's defeat, and the aftermath of 1/6, the Republican party had a choice... Repudiate Trumpism, or double down on it.
2/ What did they do? They consciously chose to triple down.

They are fully aware how far they traveled into the mud pit with Trump, it would take decades to properly fix. They know it would take an enormous amount of work for sane/intelligent Americans to trust them again.
3/ Thus, for the complicit GQP, it's easier to continue placating to the cult they radicalized.

You have cowardly self-serving disappointments like @NikkiHaley, who rebuked Trumpism after 1/6, but immediately recanted when it was not received well by the base.

1/ At 20, I idealized Rush Limbaugh.

At 25ish, I learned he was an entertainer first and foremost.

At 30ish, believing he was completely out of touch with blue collar America, I rarely listened to him.
2/ At 44, among other things, I deemed him loose with the truth, I vowed never to listen to him again, and never did.

Today, at almost 53, for the last few years, I've noted how Trumpism morphed Rush into Alex Jones.
3/ For the love of the "golden microphone and an underserving "Metal of Freedom" award from a conman with authoritarian impulses, this man I once admired, followed the evils of Trumpism all the way to spending his last days on Earth helping to incite an insurrection.

1/ THREAD. Like it or Trump it, outside of being anti-Obama, the Tea Party Movement had no real ideological identity and allowed populism, nationalism, and fringe conspiracy kookdom to fester. Looking back, this movement was the precursor to Trumpism.
2/ FTR, I went to a TP rally in Orlando in 2009, and I was as critical of what I witnessed then as I am today.

There were some decent speakers (who are now mostly hypocritical "what was bad for Obama is good for Trump" MAGAts), but I was primarily concerned with the populist...
3/ ...and delusional, "vote them ALL out" mindset, and how the the movement itself attracted the very Bircher-type undesirables William F. Buckley successfully ostracized from the conservative agenda in his day.
