Trust the establishment politicians.

Not really. but they don't have convictions for fraud and literally thousands of court cases that have been prosecuted against them or their companies.
I just trust Trump less - based upon his reputation, his actions on the public record and, well, actual criminal convictions.

Typical.
You trust the leftist accusations against Trump.
Nice to have you admit it.
You must develop the ability to be disliked in order to free yourself from the prison of other people's opinions.

Yeah, OK, but I don't trust anyone without some degree of hard evidence.

I guess any organization could be a cult. Like Antifa, Black lives matter etc. Any corporation. The list goes on forever.

Please re-read those points.
Just taking Antifa, for example;
1. Who is their infallible leader?
2. Since there isn't an identified infallible leader, how can criticism of the leader be interpreted as persecution of the leader?
3. Also, since there isn't such leader, who is justifying what that leader says or does?
4. Since there isn't an identifiable leader, how can the leader be justified as the source of all truth?
5. Since there is no leader, how can there be followers who must never question him/her?
6. They could be in a cult, though, but not a usual one with a leader or even identifiable rules.

Cult members need an enemy boogeyman leader to keep the delusion afloat and to demonize, otherwise truth would shine through.

Well, Monday's here. Wonder how many stranded ships Don & Pete's Escort Service is going to rescue today? Any bets?
