We Are The Third Man
Cult-of-Personality Defined: "G.O.P. Supporters Back Trump, but a Third Seek a New Direction for the Party"
It's implicit in the responses form the GOP supporters of Trump. This cannot be denied, It can be argued with, but not on the merits.
("Implicit describes something that is suggested, understood, or implied rather than directly expressed. It forms the foundation for information, rules, or agreements that are conveyed indirectly through context, actions, or inherent circumstances.")

The very idea that many supporters of Trump within the GOP still "back" him, while a Third Seek a New Direction for the Party? It borders on the cognitive dissonance many of us outside of Trump's supporters observe when dealing with them.

While President Trump remains overwhelmingly popular within the Republican coalition, a New York Times/Siena poll found, a sizable share wants the party’s next nominee to take a different approach.
...over again, it reaffirms beliefs based on observations.

President Trump’s grip on the Republican Party remains indisputable, according to the latest New York Times/Siena poll, with a majority of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents wanting to see the next presidential nominee follow his lead on most issues.
But there are signs that some in the G.O.P. coalition are looking to move beyond the Trump era. Thirty-seven percent want to see the party’s next nominee move in a different direction, including a majority of Republican-leaning independents. And divisions are emerging even among the president’s strongest supporters when it comes to questions about the economy and foreign policy, as the war with Iran has driven up gas prices.


Mr. Trump remains overwhelmingly popular among the party faithful. Three-quarters of Republicans and Republican-leaning independent voters approve of his job performance, the poll found, even as the president’s approval rating among the wider American electorate has fallen to a second-term low of 37 percent.
The president’s popularity within his party has helped him oust several Republican elected officials who have crossed him by supporting challengers in party primaries in Louisiana and Indiana. And it has given him the clout to persuade several Republican-led states to draw new House maps that will be more favorable to the party.
But in a general election where Democrats and independents who lean toward Democrats will also vote — often at higher rates than Republicans — the dissatisfaction illustrated by Mr. Trump’s sagging approval ratings and the unpopularity of the war could still cost Republicans the control of Congress.
Still, growing disapproval among the wider electorate has barely dented Mr. Trump’s standing among Republican supporters, pointing to the entrenched polarization in American politics.
