Former President Donald Trump’s supporters say they hold him as a source of true information over their family, friends, and religious leaders, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll out on Sunday.

        fet·ish noun

        1. a form of sexual desire in which gratification is strongly linked to a particular object or activity or a part of the body other than the sexual organs.

        2. an inanimate object worshiped for its supposed magical powers or because it is considered to be inhabited by a spirit.

        cult noun

        1. a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.

        2. a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.

        3. a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing.

        So, it’s either sexual or directed at an inanimate object. Trump is not inanimate.

        Trumpism is a dangerous cult.

          Guess those definitions changed since I last looked. Used to mean anything that’s somewhat obsessive. “I have a fetish for collecting paperclips”

          Hell, I’d say #3 of cult is what fetish used to mean.
