cults are a powerful and dangerous re-occurring mal-
adaptive attractor in human social relationships and I think that more narrow definition is useful and diagnostic for when these patterns arise.
Trump and MAGA have more to do with patterns like authoritarianism, fascism, Christian and White Nationalism. Which as also mad-adaptive attractors, but ones that work on a much larger scale and in significantly different ways.
