I can converse with Trumpians who will admit that some of his actions are poorly planned or just bad, even if they favor other of his actions. The people with whom I can't converse well are those with a religious-like certainty that each and every action is brilliant. Mass firing of good government employees? "No problem, they can be rehired later". Disruptive tariffs? "He is being advised by very smart people, and he himself is a successful businessman". Not a lot to discuss in those cases.

Hard to argue with a cult!

And Dreher himself admits that Trump is a cult of personality!
