re: #217 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

People who are attracted to follow him are often a lot like Trump in the sense that they are unable to back down and admit mistakes.

And yes, Trumpism will continue to be a force in politics, I am sure that right now the GOP heads are strategizing on how to best tap into it for upcoming elections.

I just don’t understand this part of the human psyche. We all feel it to a degree; our success in life is largely based on how effectively we can counter this tendency. What’s confusing me is how people got to be this stubborn. It seems to be an anti-evolutionary trait; continuing to persist in the face of reality sounds like a fast ticket to an early death.
