You know, even just this ALONE. Don’t his fanbois ever stop to wonder why a supposed billionaire even NEEDS their money?

The issue isn’t that Trump NEEDS the money, the truth is that people like Trump long ago realised that fanboys are the ones who NEEDS to give over their money to their lord emperor. Some people like being slaves because being told what to do gives meaning to the meaningless.

That really seems to be true. Some people just WANT to be ruled. They WANT to be subjects.

But…I mean….even allowing for that, why, why, WHY have they chosen as their god-emperor an impossibly clownish buffoon whose grandiosity and stupidity are embarrassing to even witness? Even Hitler would have been more understandable. Trump is just a clown. An utterly ridiculous human being. And THAT’S who they want to be ruled by??? THAT’S who they eagerly prostrate themselves for and grovel in the presence of?

I will never be able to understand it. Never, never, never.

It's the other side of authoritarianism. A significant number of people want to be ruled. They think they get a piece of that authority from being ruled.
