The most insidious invention of Trumpism was to move orthodoxy from the Republican Party to unceasing support for Trump, meaning anyone who stepped out of line or didn’t support his reality instantly became a heretic.
It’s a matter of a cult gaining control of the main religion and then dictating how even people on the periphery behave. Now we’re seeing it even play out in who has faith in election fraud even though there’s literally no evidence.
And that’s what it is. Faith in spite of evidence. There’s no fraud and yet there’s no amount of proof that could convince them otherwise. It’s a matter of religious conviction what Trumpists feel. That’s why I keep trying to explain this is actually a full blown cult.
Reality is completely malleable and sometimes cults, both religious and political and a mixture even, capture society. Trumpism can, if allowed, force itself on society.
