1. I think this is astute. There's definitely subset of the population that can't "see" Trump's charisma. It's like color blindness or tone-deafness: they can be told about it but they can't experience it (true to some degree of all charismatic figures but Trump more than most)https://twitter.com/BlanksSlate/status/1311001032512729088 …

4. If you want to break a window, any brick will do. For many people who want to break windows, Trump is a convenient brick. Understanding the desire to break the window is the key. QAnon is also a brick.

Based on what do you argue Q is nihilistic?

Trump is clearly a charismatic dude, you don't get a successful TV show and sponsorship deals that way. If you watch his TV interviews in the 80s, he comes off more suave and less frothing and unhinged, though his politics were always terrible
-
the thing you can say about Trump, putting aside all politics, is he can be funny in an Andrew Dice Clay sort of way and that resonates with people. what isn't funny are the policy outcomes

"The desire to watch things burn" is not quite the same as nihilism.

But there is maybe a sort of spiteful indifference to whether something is true or not, which drives some people. "Well I don't believe that and you can't make me!"

Trump kinda reminds me of an article I read about email spammers. They intentionally use poor spelling and syntax to weed out people who notice/care about that sort of thing. Anyone remaining is more likely to be an easy mark.

Not sure people did want to see him on tv actually. He's barely on The Apprentice isn't he? Like, I thought he mostly only appeared at the very end of each episode to pick a loser. I thought I remembered other people doing all the explaining of the weeks challenge or whatever.
