Trump is a master conman. He has people who he'd have thrown out of any of his golf clubs in a second convinced that he's fighting for them.
It makes me shake my head.
It doesn't make me shake my head.
If you look at how Hitler conned his country, getting behind his madness it all fits. You have to make it out that there is an assault on Traditional American Values. You have to "other" people, point out certain groups as the enemy, the cause of all your problems, then you start turning multiple groups against each other, building a hate cake, layer by layer.
During Hitlers rise Germany was in an extreme depression, manufacturing, even farming was in the toilet. Hitler came along and promised that he could turn it all around if you just put your "total" faith in him he would restore "LAW AND ORDER".
Cult of Personality. You'd hope people were smart enough to spot fascism a mile away, but like I've mentioned before, American people lack skepticism, they always want to latch onto someones idea as if that's going to get the winning lottery ticket that makes everything perfect.
People worshiped Trump like he was the Messiah. The thing is just look at what he did when he built Trump Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino, even though he could never make enough money to make a go of it, his ego was too big to call a halt to it because it would have been embarrassing to be wrong. So he went ahead and built it and left contractors holding the bill, many or most of which ended up losing their companies because they went bankrupt. The thing is Trump knew all along that he couldn't clear the $1 million/day profit threshold that was needed to make a go of this and he still wanted to carry on.
We saw this same behavior in office, he can't admit he's "WRONG".
He's dangerous, that's what people really need to realize, you just had a full on sociopath in office for four years and thank goodness it was only for that long.
