Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Of all the people to blindly believe and follow, why him? Absolutely nothing I've seen about him even hints a wisp of "you can trust me" vibe. Did he do something amazing on The Apprentice? I never watched that screen feces, so I don't know what was portrayed. I can only assume it was something spellbinding and miraculous based on the cultist compulsion millions of human brains seem to exhibit.

Or did they all just hate Hillary Clinton or Obama SO MUCH that it permanently broke their brains?

He tells the shitty people that their hate is good and proper, so they convince themselves that his actions are correct.

Trump openly promises fascism in terms stupid enough that fascists can understand.

There's not much more to it.
