dramatized?

[summertime knives]

если есть культ, то "ситуация вокруг" личности уже "раздута". можно добавить "huge" - huge personality cult

если "ситуация вокруг" самого культа "раздута", то tram801+1 или как-нибудь перефразировать.

"...Consideration of first principles never seems to occur to most in the Reform Party, including those of its two foremost apostles, Ross Perot and Jesse Ventura. Yet without principles, there is no rallying point, no common theme for supporters, only popular faces. The political movement becomes nothing more than an overblown cult of personality ."
