The closest thing I can compare this to, tbh, is Twilight. Bella's character was written to be a blank slate so she appealed to every reader

This is what Trump's speeches are. His base sees their views in him; they see their vision of how to run the country in what he says.

They don't have to understand foreign policy. They make an opinion and see it in the President. By virtue of office, they feel it's legit.

Simply defeating Trump in court or in the voting booth won't change those beliefs, leaving us vulnerable to the next demagogue.

this is the sales pitch or the confidence trick. Trump is 70 and has been doing sales pitches and con games his whole life.
