Because Trump support is an identity, not a belief system.
I'm currently immersed in MAGA world (eldercare, siblings). Their daily media diet is 1984's Two Minutes of Hate all day long on repeat.

I'm still unsure about the cultish aspects.
Habitual hate and anger are akin to addiction. Which may be sufficient to explain the behavior I'm seeing. (They really hate their perceived enemies.)
In favor of the cult theory, MAGA et al do check a lot of the boxes.
