It’s a cult.
Yes, Trumpism includes the usual cultic practices.
But here I will be boring and repetitious and restate again: Trumpism is very much tied into Christian fundamentalism, the collapse of the fundamentalist worldview that was already out of date in the 18th century when the US Constitution was written.
Said worldview is not only anachronistic in the 21st century but downright destructive to the general comity of our society.
Said worldview is very much a into patriarchy, and extended hierarchical structures extending from patriarchy, and magical beliefs which otherwise would not be of great impact but in the hands of demagogues become the lever by which said demagogues do great harm.
