Trump: I could say the stupidest things and you'd clap

Even though I’ve known it’s a cult for years and years, every day he comes up with new ways to make me think “holy hellcats, I didn’t know it was THAT culty”

They know. They approve and praise this sort of unthinking sycophancy. Cheering for him no matter what, even if he's actively mocking them? That's a virtue in their ideology. They're "good people" for this, in their own eyes.

The terror reinforces it. They're terrified to leave. terrified of what they'd be if they didn't have this. While they're in the group, the group gives them purpose and validation. The group says "it's good that you're here, that you're like this". Makes it very hard to leave.
