Curious, isn't it. Like Jim Jones but for rubes. Who knew the US had so many of them?

I guess they've been building that evidence-free population in churches, gun clubs and mullet barber shops for two generations, and now they have found their perfect leader.

Still can't see how the Indivisible Republic is salvageable, or even why it is worth saving. What sense of community do coast-dwellers have with the pork bellies in the middle? The coast-dwellers are a bit similar to Canadians. But the Sixpacks are like no one else on the planet, except maybe some Aussies.

The cult of Trump now threatens us all
Mar 24, 2020
by Jamie Manson

snippet:
.....
So it is a shock to my system when I am reminded that many of my neighbors not only believe every word Trump says, they will go to the mat for him. They will stridently argue that Trump is the victim of conspiring, liberal forces, even as this virus — which he has minimized and lied about — threatens us at our doorstep. New York is now the U.S. epicenter of COVID-19. We have been warned that, in a week's time, our hospitals will be overwhelmed and many may not get the care they need. The National Guard is being called in to build four makeshift hospitals.

The absolute blind loyalty to Trump triggers both fear and rage in me. These days, the only way I can make sense of it all is by reading about the personalities of cult leaders and those who follow them.
