It’s a cult.
it seems puzzling if you think of it as a cult formed by trump
the guy isn't even charismatic or a good speaker
but he didn't make this cult
there was already a disturbingly large demographic in this country of white evangelicals who deny and oppose science, not just the body of knowledge but the method itself
these people were a cult looking for a leader
then throw in all the people who've been brainwashed and radicalized through facebook echo chambers and youtube algorithms
so we have this unholy union of the anti-evolution cult and the anti-sjw cult, united by bigotry, hatred and willful ignorance
trump didn't brainwash these people, they were brainwashed and ready to go, just looking for boots to lick and they attached to trump like freshly hatched ducklings
