That's my thinking based on a lot of evidence and observation. That would be the knee-jerk cult. They hate when you call them racists as they say Obama was a muslim and a disaster with ridiculous arguments over minor stuff or lies.

Regarding likeability, my brother is not racist and not a "cult" follower, but used to watch Republican debates because he thought Trump's insults and Don Rickles routine were hysterical. He might be perceived as little thick but he's not. He's also well informed. He just cognitively perceives things differently - just less empathetic on that spectrum and more self-centered than a democrat.
