The comparisons have come hard and fast, at least since 2015. Trump is like Silvio Berlusconi, like Adolf Hitler, like Boris Johnson. A 2018 film called “The Trump Prophecy” took the evangelical route, comparing Trump to Cyrus the Great, the 6th century BC Persian monarch chosen by God to free Jewish captives in Babylon.
But maybe it’s time to stop searching for the exact analogy for Trump, be he Cyrus or Boris, Adolf or a Silvio. What demands analysis is less the arrogant 73-year-old mediocrity in the Oval Office, but the worshipful attitude so many Americans have toward him.
A lot of nut jobs have peddled lies to Americans before, and even styled themselves as messianic. But at no time in history have so many Americans been drawn to what’s looking increasingly like a cult. I don’t use the term recklessly.

A Cult of deplorables.....and we’ll ring every polling booth from shore to shore.
Hope she doesn’t step on a needle or a pile of poop in LA. Trump red states are much nicer places to live.
Call Obama & the Democrats what they are: Communists!
Or who are still worshiping at the feet of FDR.
Whatever floats your boat,but it sure is wodking!
63 million and growing... if that is a cult so is eating at Burger King.
Projection.
Outrageous. The MSM is the biggest cult that ever existed.
Yes, you use the term quite recklessly. Do you have even one tiny clue as to what the average Trump voter wants? Have you ever talked to an average middle class person without letting your condescension and arrogance completely deafen you to what they have to say? Somehow, I doubt it.
You mean like that guy who peddled himself as "the one" we were waiting for? What was his name again? Omaba? Otamba? Molama? Something like that?
I will note that they have comments disabled for this article.
They know ahead of time that they won’t like the responses from the public.
You want to see a cult in action, just watch the MSM talking about Trump . . . everything but the Kool-aid.
Yeah, this is rich. Besides the hymns of praise don’t forget the posters, the halo-like photo lighting, the Nobel Peace Prize, terms like “lightbringer,” etc. honestly, the utter lack of introspection in these people is breathtaking
More precisely,
As opposed to people who worshiped at the butt of Obama.
“Virginia Heffernan is an American journalist and cultural critic. She worked as a staff writer for The New York Times — first as a TV critic, then as a magazine columnist, and then as an opinion writer. She has also worked as a senior editor for Harper’s, as a founding editor of Talk, and as a TV critic for Slate.”
Lol. Another America hating baby murderer.
“A cult” much like the ObamaIdiot cult, Virginia HeggernanIdiot?
Meh, Who cares what you think Virginia?!
My first thought was “mmm mmm mmm barack Hussein Obama” where they had a bunch of little kids singing the praises of the failure in chief.
The Communists and Democrats offer nothing but name calling, character assassination, and blaming others for their hate inspired "thinking."
How long can such a newspaper stay in business? The LA Times is boring.
