If you really think about it, many leaders from socialist countries have used cults of personality to make themselves above everyone else. Isn’t this basically how capitalists use their own image as a way to convey power.

The American founding fathers have a cult of personality. They are still worshipped to this day by people.
i’m not sure american civil religion is properly a cult of personality
Did not know that “American civil religion” was a thing, very interesting.
yeah all that reverence for the founding people and documents, symbols of state etc. Trump’s cult is a branch of it, and for decades it’s usually been republicans who are the most overt clowns over it, but liberal idealism about how the country is “supposed to be” is in there too.
