"A big problem with personality cults is that those who join them have trouble grasping why others don’t, and are even offended by them. They want to believe that what appeals to them appeals to most people, which is why, in the case of MAGA, they still argue (despite all contrary evidence) that the “silent majority” is on their side."

You nailed Mr. Daly! I work with some individuals who perfectly fit this description. Voting for Trump in '16 and '20 isn't enough for them. I'm expected to fall-in-line and worship his Almighty, no matter what. The fact that I do not makes me a "Biden supporter" in their minds.
I hear you. Politician-worship is creepy to begin with, but making it part of your very identify, and expecting others to adopt that identity, is downright perverse.
