This tweet nails something I’ve been pondering:
The strangest thing about this epoch of American history will always be that tens of millions of grown ups decided to form a cult like devotion to, of all available people, Donald Trump.
The response from a Trumper is genuinely helpful:
It really isn’t about Trump. It could be any republican who had a backbone who would simply stand up against you libs. He’s doing it. He not perfect, but he’s a fighter…and we loved fighters.
In short, we’d have formed a cult around any crazy-ass dumbfuck who nursed our petty grievances and validated our racial hatreds.
