pathological loyalty

Is a very bad thing if the person has shown itself to not have your best interests at heart several times.

Trump’s base has regularly and loudly broken with him on many major issues including Operation Warp Speed, his questionable picks and endorsements, and most recently the bombing of Iran on behalf of Israel.

Parts of his base yes, those parts who aren't subscribing to the cult of personality. Other parts support everything he does no matter what because 'trust the plan'. And some parts are actually making him out be a religious figure.

Cult of personalities aren't just dangerous for the followers but also for the leader. If the leader starts to get surrounded by Yes-men who not only unconditionally support everything he's doing but perhaps are also 'protecting' him from bad news and criticism and by doing that he's getting wrong and incomplete information then that leader has a serious problem on his hand.

For example Hitler was surrounded by Yes-men. At least that is what Erich Hartmann thought because when he talked with Hitler about the air-war in the East he clearly had no fucking idea what was truly going on and Hartmann was specifically told beforehand not to bother Hitler about it.

A charismatic leader is very powerful and can achieve much. But if he becomes the very foundation and is incapable of creating a lasting foundation independent of himself then everything will come crashing down once he's dead. And then obviously there's also the danger of the leader buying into his own hype and turning into a fucking idiot. That's why a cult of personality is bad.

Look at Libya. The second Gadaffi died everything he worked for, everything he achieved instantly went up in smoke. He's one of the best examples in modern history.

And don’t even start on the leftists. Obama was the second coming for those dipshits, and they have the audacity to call us a “cult of personality”?

Yes. Obama also had a cult of personality surrounding him.
