The belief that big government is good, (make the state great again), authoritarianism gets things done, you can and should do deals with evil people, control of the free press is desirable, libel laws to close down criticism are good, bullying and crudity is ok, protectionism and tarriffs, not free trade works, the mixed economy, economic nationalism and statism is best for America not capitalism, nativism is good, immigration bad, blustering bufoonery and posturing is presidential, flip flopping and changing principle and policy on the fly from one day to the next and lying is fine as is having a hair trigger temper and the emotional intelligence of a three year old.
The fact that none of Trump's fanboys can see any of this proves we are dealing with a cult and they are its glassy eyed adherents and acolytes. Presidency as the cult of personality. He has trashed the presidency and whilst he is not a dictator or even yet a crypto fascist he has set America on that path and smoothed the way for the genuine article. The rest is just a matter of time
