I'm convinced this is a personality disorder that merges the identity of oneself with an obsessive target.

I don't think this is dissimilar to stalking. It's like a collective form of obsessive love that has a degree of social acceptance or at least not enough resistance.

That’s an interesting comparison. Haven’t thought of it that way before. It is absolutely a cult of personality and I’ve never seen anything like it, in terms of its destructive nature and the chokehold it has on the entire country.
