TheFlopster@lemmy.worldtopolitics @lemmy.world•Gov. Tim Walz vows to fight Donald Trump’s agenda while working to understand his appeal

5 days agoI think you’re absolutely right about the hate vs. fear. But when the charismatic (Trump? Ew, how?) cult leader dies, sometimes the cult doesn’t have anyone else they all believe in, and it breaks apart. I’m hoping for that.
I agree that the behavior will absolutely continue. But if the new leader doesn’t have that special “something” that everyone rallies around, the cult divides.
Again, I still have no idea what people see in Trump or why anyone would choose to follow him. But there’s obviously something about him that appeals to them. Visible anger and hate for everyone not in the cult? Promises to destroy them all? Idk.
