- I remember fascism
Ah, then you must recognize its Definition as extremely similar to your Cult:
"Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement. It first emerged in Italy after World War I under the leadership of Benito Mussolini.
Core Characteristics of Fascism
Dictatorial Leadership: Centers power in a single, autocratic leader who demands total loyalty and submission.
Extreme Nationalism and Ultranationalism: Exalts the nation"and often a specific ethnic or racial group"above individual interests and rights.
Suppression of Opposition: Forcibly silences political dissent, bans rival political parties, dismantles democratic institutions, and uses secret police or state surveillance.
Militarism and Violence: Glorifies military strength, views conflict or national struggle as therapeutic or necessary, and relies on paramilitary groups (such as Mussolini's Blackshirts).
State Control and Corporatism: Regulates society and the economy heavily, often controlling nominally private corporate enterprise through state-mandated planning, cartels, and national interest mandates.
Scapegoating: Capitalizes on social and economic anxieties by blaming internal or external enemies"such as minority groups, immigrants, leftists, or rival nations." more

Trump's efforts to cut corners with ambitious projects are not new, but take on a painful significance in a moment when he is ripping through the nation's capital.
As a developer in NYC Trump was notorious for his disregard for the law. Now that he seems to believe that he's "king of the world", he has even less regard for law or public opinion; and he's convinced no one can stop him. Not hundreds of veterans, nor the citizens of DC or its surrounding communities, nor Congress, nor even local and federal district courts.
