Did you take the term “cultist” as a personal attack?
Oxford’s third definition of a cult is: “ a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing.
“a cult of personality surrounding the leaders”
I doubt most people would disagree that Trump supporters have excessive admiration for him. I think that many Trump supporters think any negative news or outcome could not possibly be true—despite evidence to the contrary.
That is where the conspiracy stuf comes into play.
If you took that as a personal insult, it wasn’t intended. But, people involved in cults of personality rarely see themselves that way.
You just keep making my point.
