re: #55 Charles Johnson

It’s a cult of personality. Not the first time we’ve seen this in human history. It’s like a virus.

Another point worth noting is that it clearly demonstrates that all of these “conservative principles” the right wing noise machine produces are completely meaningless. Nobody believes in or cares about that shit, not even Republicans.

Trump is the leader of a personality cult because he makes his wretched supporters feel better about themselves. It is explicitly and entirely an emotional appeal.
