Trumpist Cult Resembles Scientology

The Trumpism Cult Is Like a Political Scientology
I have discerned direct parallels between Trumpism and Scientology. Both are cults with a blind allegiance to a great con artist who invents an alternate reality for them to inhabit, and uses a strange invented vocabulary to isolate its followers from the rest of the world.
Trumpism:
Deep State Conspiracy.
Fake News in Media.
Climate Science Denial.
Scientology:
We are Thetans who have been reincarnated on other planets over seven trillion years.
We need Processing with an electric machine to rid ourselves of Engrams, which are traumas from those interplanetary incarnations.
The Non-Germ Theory of Disease states we make ourselves sick with bad thoughts.
In both cases, followers blindly adhere to complete nonsense as important truth and are loyally devoted to the con artist. And in both cases they stick with the cult for years and cannot be pried loose by appeals to fact and reason.
