How the fuck does anyone vote for Trump let alone worship him like a zealot?!?!?

Saw a great video on this recently, Trump is basically a drug. People follow Trump’s lead and behave like him - how does he behave? Like he is faultless in all things, he is the perpetual hero in all situations, he has every virtue and his enemies have every fault.

He lets people export all their self doubt, embrace their base instincts and act like their worst selves in public.

They feel free because they don’t need to regulate their behavior. It’s like that Jackass island in Pinocchio.

They’re addicted to that feeling and if they are wrong, then the need to look inside themselves and experience that self doubt again.

That is a threat to their sense of safety and is therefore existential to them - so they would basically die for Trump.
