everyone’s saying cult when they mean fetish?
No, cult is the correct word. Fetish suggests that it’s sexual.
Only if you pair it with sexualality
fet·ish noun
a form of sexual desire in which gratification is strongly linked to a particular object or activity or a part of the body other than the sexual organs.
an inanimate object worshiped for its supposed magical powers or because it is considered to be inhabited by a spirit.
cult noun
a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.
a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.
a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing.
So, it’s either sexual or directed at an inanimate object. Trump is not inanimate.
Trumpism is a dangerous cult.
Guess those definitions changed since I last looked. Used to mean anything that’s somewhat obsessive. “I have a fetish for collecting paperclips”
Hell, I’d say #3 of cult is what fetish used to mean.
