Leftists and their fellow travelers on the right like to talk about the "Cult of Trump." The evidence they present for this theory is nonexistent, as usual. But they're right to the extent that we have had this president's back more than any conservative president or political leader before him.
What's the story behind our fervent support of Donald J. Trump? Answer: Trump is nothing more than an avatar, an embodiment of a large segment of the American people who have been marginalized and abused. That is why he is so "loved" by so many. That’s also why he’s "hated" by so many others.
Notice that the people who love him now didn’t necessarily care for him prior to 2015 and some are still uncomfortable with his lifestyle and personality. On the other side, the people who hate him now were once his biggest supporters; he embodied a successful life to them. He was king of the New York tabloids and had a monster TV show on NBC, hardly conservative bastions.
Why the sudden and dramatic turnaround? Because when Donald Trump rode down that escalator and began promoting "normal" ideas without equivocation (Don't call them "conservative" because at this point it's not about liberalism vs. conservatism, it's about normal vs. crazy), he ceased to be Donald Trump and became us. Me. You. All of us who have seen the decline of this country accelerate exponentially these past ten years and are worried sick about it. Donald Trump the person is not the target. Donald Trump the symbol is.

Good point, “normal” versus “conservative”; Trump’s statements on leaving “gay marriage” untouched and his personal life are hardly “conservative”. He instead espoused common-sense ideas such as enforcing immigration laws/controlling the border, reducing taxes to promote growth, respecting the right of individuals to own arms - all positions that due to the movement of goalposts are now “conservative” - even EXTREME.
The mass media thought control operations would have you believe it is a centrist/”normal” view that there should be no borders, we should have socialist-level taxes, and a disarmed citizenry (the leftist mobs messed up the last one big time).
Trump was pilloried for taking “normal” pro-American positions on all three of those issues.
in his 2 elections for President...more people voted for Donald Trump than anybody in history...ALL TIME....not a cult.
Collectivists believe Trump to be the cause of a movement. He is not. He is an indicator.
The movement is simply in search of the next leader to step up.

Before my Twitter boot, leftists would accuse me of being in the Trump Cult. I would always reply, “Hell yes! Cult 45 baby, that’s me!!!”
Drove them nutz.
