I don’t think Trump going away would solve any problems. The people who voted for him will still exist, and will still be easy to manipulate. Trump is not special, his success is a product of the right wing disinformation machine and the failure of previous governments to stave off wealth inequality.
This is a fair argument, I just don’t think it’s a cult of personality. The far right is performing shockingly well all around the world. It’s not because of the personalities involved, it’s because for one reason or another the ideas are popular. People can tell the world is getting worse, and many are blaming cultural outsiders rather than capitalism and the rich.
