That right there is the absolute worst and most terrifying thing about the Trump years. It's not the MAGA cult, that part is easy to understand. There have been cults since we learned to walk upright.
It's all the people who said fuck it, let's go along with the cult for our own gain.
"The base" are republicans too. That's how democracy works. They chose their leader. Yes, a small number of people at the top didn't initially support Trump, because he represents them losing control of what they created. That doesn't absolve them from creating it in the first place.
