The Trump Cult

For the longest time, I have avoided using the word "cult" in regards to the Trump followers, but it has just become way too obvious.
First, let's take a look at what a cult is: a group of people who favor their "beliefs" over fact and logic. As a result, they most often gain their "information" from other cultists or the media organs of the cult so that they don't have to actually consider said facts and logic that may show a difference to their "beliefs".
And so the Trump cult. Religious people who follow and overlook the fact that he is a known liar and adulterer, for instance. Yes, they have their "reasons" for doing so, but said "reasons" have to do with "belief" rather than facts.
But it's not really the Trump cult. He just happens to be the person who is most well known. It's actually the FOX/Hannity cult. That's where Trump gets his "ideas" and policies. Yes, he used to be Democrat, but he eventually realized that they were too intelligent to see him as a "leader", and so he found his place in FOX, where he was allowed to call in and babble nonsense and they praised him for it. And so he became a FOX cultist and the circle jerk between him and them came to full fruition.
There are other right-wing cults, of course. The Rush cult was perhaps the original until it was eclipsed by the FOX/Hannity cult. The anti-abortion cult. The gun wacko cult. The NO TAX! cult. The "huge tax cuts for the wealthy elites" cult. The Koch Brothers cult, in which they have spend literally tens of millions of dollars to develop their cult, but did so in a rather quiet manner so that many don't even know that they belong to their cult.
There are probably some others that I will think of later, but you get the idea...…..
