The author appears sincere. Unfortunately I was hoping for a positive description of a "not cultist" Trump supporter to compare to, but he doesn't provide that. Here are the bullet points for people who don't care to click:
you refuse to vote for the nominee against a Democrat
you lie or misrepresent to make your pro-Trump point
you think Trump can do no wrong
you think Trump is the only possible answer
you liked Ron DeSantis prior to 2023 but suddenly don’t like him now
you use religious iconography or in any way compare Trump to Jesus or portray him as more pious than he really is (I'll assume he gives allowance for tongue-in-cheek memes?)
you uncritically believe everything Trump says about political rivals
you automatically dismiss legitimate criticism as being untrue or done in bad faith
So good news! If these don't apply to you, but some weirdo online calls you a Trump cultist anyway, you may freely call him a TDS-afflicted shill right back.
