      @thekeenanwire Did you read Desmond's Ford Fest bit this week? I just still don't get it.

      @balkissoon I did read it. I kind of get it, sort of? Though the strength of the devotion seems very disproportionate to me.

      @thekeenanwire @balkissoon Save for, I dunno, family and friends (and pets), I'm not sure anyone should love anything that much.

      @goldsbie @thekeenanwire @balkissoon Intensity of devotion of Ford Nation is great riddle of this story. I have a few theories but not sure.

          @balkissoon @goldsbie @thekeenanwire That's part of it. But more deeply, alienated people see Ford as an avatar of their own struggles.
