"Cult" is too strong of a word. Many Republicans - including Republican voters - see any compromise or turning on Trump as a forfeit to liberal ideas in these very polarizing times. This has led to a lot of shameless flip-flopping and seemingly blind following of Trump. I'm with Mr. Morden that this would be the case with any GOP President. With that said, Trump IS the GOP President, and that's the only reality we have, so GOPers are certainly following Trump with a scary amount of loyalty. The reason I shy away from "cult" is because I don't think it's particularly specific to Trump with MOST Republicans ... Trump's nomination and election exposed most Republicans as foot soldiers for the right who would back anyone with the R because they see that as literally their only other binary choice against liberalism. Sad.
