There are non-cultist, thoughtful people supporting Trump. For example, Rich Lowry, the editor of long-time conservative beacon National Review, recently wrote this piece about Trump:
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/06/19/the-madcap-caution-of-donald-trump-227190

tldr: he makes the case that Trump might in fact be a pragmatic center-right incrementalist when it comes to actual policy and policy-making, not the super-radical far-right extremist as whom the liberal media tries to paint him.


And he wrote it like he's the first person to identify that Trump is a pragmatist who spent his whole life as a social moderate

Well, he might indeed be one of the first reputable mainstream journalists to acknowledge it publicly. Coming from one of the thought-leaders of mainstream conservative media, it carries a lot more weight than when it comes from Breitbart, or from Goomshill. ;)

Trump isn’t even close to right-wing, he never was. His whole America-first stance has been his go-to since the late 1980s. That’s just considered “reich-wing” nowadays, and being part of the #resist loser crew is good for their pockets

If you'd like to read it from Vox and hear about how "meaningful" and "brave" it is to censor conservative thought, you're more than free to do so. They have a great article reaffirming that viewpoint on the same topic.

Conservatives think it's meaningful and brave to threaten to shoot people.

Thank you for admitting that you'd need to be brave to roll up on a 2nd Amendment gun nut.

Trump never was radical or even extreme on the traditional political left-right spectrum. However, on the new "open-closed political spectrum" [1], he represents a very stauchly "closed" position. On that scale, he indeed ranks far to the one end of the spectrum.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/06/27/twitter-adds-labels-tweets-that-break-its-rules-putting-president-trump-companys-crosshairs/?noredirect=on

Twitter is now moving to directly censor Trump's tweets, applying a quarantine to selected tweets on the fly;
>Twitter said it would deprioritize the labeled tweets in the company’s algorithms and search bar so that they would circulate to fewer people. The policy will go into effect immediately and will not apply to other influencers and leaders. It’s not retroactive.

They're installing a team specifically to censor Trump's tweets and only Trump's tweets rofl.
