I see a difference between those who are along for the ride (which does not make them less dangerous) and the people who most likely live, eat and breathe this as being "THEIR MOMENT," and I'd say Noem and Miller top the "zealot" list.

I don't think the others are zealots. I think they're the type who would stick a fork into an electrical outlet to see if they'd really get shocked. They're boot licking sycophants, and yes...dangerous. But they're predators by instinct, not by cunning and calculation.
