One day Trumpism will be a case study for religious movements.
What they have in common:
-Savior figure (Make America Great Again, Messiah)
-Discussions on how to overthrow government (violence or peacefully)
-Prophecy or "believing in the plan"
If Trump had actually stormed the Capitol and died instead of the poor woman who got shot, Trump would have become a martyr like Jesus.
I want to talk about the last point (believing in the plan): It is human nature to become passive and convincing oneself that others will solve one´s own problems. This is how Q came about (whether it was an internal invention or planted by somebody is irrelevant).
Trump already admitted defeat (and arguably betrayed his people) but there are still those who believe he will take power before his term ends (see a woman on CGTN yesterday). This is religious-like belief. People can´t accept reality because how much invested they are in an idea.
During the time of Jesus there were also people who wanted to act (Zealots) and attacked soldiers. And there was a passive majority who wanted to believe in the plan, even after the leader had been executed. And even kept on believing he would bring about change... even until this day.
Trumpism might survive us all, unfortunately. It would have had more long-lasting power if he had been killed though, as I mentioned.
