    I still find it so weird that their idea of a big strongly man is a rather fey Manhattanite failson who had it all handed to him by daddy and who spends 2 hours a day on hair and makeup.

    Not only does he do a very poor job of faking being a businessman, he cannot even fake the xtian thing all that well. I’m convinced these people WANT to be fooled.

      If it was a charismatic leader I could kinda understand, but Trump…? Really? You can hardly understand a thing he says.

      I feel like they want to be fooled at this point as well; to push their hopes and dreams on a person that is “rich” as they feel powerless in their own lives. The billionaires are running the show now, currying favor with even a strange Manhattanite failson who mismanaged all that wealth is less of an onerous ask for them. Until they feel empowered to make meaningful changes, Trump is just their figurehead of a doomed future as they won’t use their collective power to make a real difference.

        You are both right. Also don’t forget about 20 or so years of constant republican propaganda from fox News. Fox has kept MAGA scared, outraged and frothing for a strong dictator to fix things without deep state interference in congress.
