Here's an article that discusses the cult dynamics of "wokeness." The question, "What is a cult?" is notoriously hard to answer, and this isn't a particularly serious effort: https://newdiscourses.com/2020/06/cult-dynamics-wokeness/.
Nonetheless, it's notable that the word "cult" comes up, over and over, to describe both Trump's followers and the movement now broadly described as "woke." (e.g., https://www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch/-magically-protected-why-hardcore-trump-supporters-won-t-wear-masks-at-rally-85485125654?cid=sm_npd_ms_tw_ma).
Whether one or either may properly be termed a cult, both are obviously rife with magical thinking and hostile to values we might loosely call "scientific." They're sociologically similar, and they give us the creeps for similar reasons.
If you can find a copy of Norman Cohn's book about the revolutionary millenarians and mystical anarchists of the Middle Ages on hand, pick it up: You'll see that both movements have distinct historic origins. What we're dealing with is an outbreak of Christian heresy.
This is probably not a coincidence: https://www.pewforum.org/2019/10/17/in-u-s-decline-of-christianity-continues-at-rapid-pace/
