    They're trying really hard for the cult of personality. I just don't think it's gonna work. Trump works as a symbol of partisan anger, but not as a Dear Leader.https://twitter.com/EricLiptonNYT/status/1050740851419308032 …

    From @sbg1 on the road, to six rallies with Trump. "Political leaders are called onstage to praise the President in terms that would make a feudal courtier blush,.. the kinds of tributes I have heard in places like Uzbekistan, but never before in America." https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-trumps-washington/i-listened-to-all-six-trump-rallies-in-october-you-should-too …

        Americans aren't the saluting type. For all these invocations of crappy dictatorships, I've yet to find an American who keeps a Trump photo in their home, and reveres it like a religious icon, as one sees in Cuba or Morocco or wherever. Personality cults will get nowhere here.

        You're underestimating the depths of the Right's cognitive dissonance. Also, your assumption that "Dear Leaders" of the past had something to offer other than anger and hatred is unfounded.

        I don't care if they don't fall for infatuation of his personality, I care if they are cool with him shooting someone on 5th avenue and I think most of them are.

        I know Trump cult members. They tell me I'm ripping America apart by criticizing him. They're from small state rural communities. Trump really is their "Dear Leader." Of course, they're older and will never have influence beyond their morning Waffle House bitch sessions.

        I cant wait for the centrists to moan about how annoying and alarmist liberals are, when they actually do have their Dear Leader figure.

        I think it worked on a portion of the population, now we just have to hope it's a small enough portion to not get him reelected.

        If there’s a mass tragedy in the works that will switch things around fast. That’s what we should be wary of
