They don't care what he says as long as he's protecting them from the reality of their lives with his air of superiority... fake as that is.

Well, I guess that Donald does tell the truth sometimes.

He probably laughs about how Stupid they are all the time with Lutnick and the other Billionaires.

Birds of a Feather....

It's shameful. But a little scary to watch how easy a mob of humans are duped and how easy they submit to a charisma cult.

What Charisma?

He's Jabba the Hut.

Disgusting and full of Contempt.

Proof of Human Stupidity and Willful Blindness.

What Charisma?

It's not charisma to me. But apparently is to a large number of maga maroons. They have never felt such affection or love before!

Looking for a better word if you have one.

The psychology of the MAGA movement is already a major focus of political science, sociology, and social psychology, and researchers agree it will be studied for decades.

But charisma is definitely in the list.

From AI (saying it better than me):

Populism relies on a sharp divide between "the pure people" and "the corrupt elite." The psychological bond with a singular leader who acts as a champion for the group creates a high degree of loyalty and shared identity.

Trumpy the Hut operates on loyalty. Much of that loyalty is genuine. There is even probably an oath you have take and papers to sign.

Jabba the Hutt did not have genuinely faithful followers; his entire criminal empire was built and maintained through fear, debt, coercion, and self-interest rather than loyalty.

Tho Trumpy the Hut also operates thru fear, debt, and coercion. Because cruelty is ALSO the point apparently with this crowd of humans.

Again.. these are historic times and it will be studied for decades to come. For those that survive it.

Those morons out there? Shucks, I could take chicken fertilizer and sell it to them as caviar. I could make them eat dog food and think it was steak. Sure, I got 'em like this... You know what the public's like? A cage of Guinea Pigs. Good Night you stupid idiots. Good Night, you miserable slobs. They're a lot of trained seals. I toss them a dead fish and they'll flap their flippers.
