I sincerely don't understand how this is even possible. A lot of these people are old, do they not remember the 90's? Trump being "Smug Rich Asshole: The Character" was his whole brand, and people loved him for it because we were still drinking that "Capitalism good" kool-aid left over from the cold war.
How is this man with a literal solid gold toilet "The Voice of the People"
This whole nonsense makes me perfectly understand how "War of the Worlds" was mistaken for a legitimate news broadcast.
Bob Altemeyer explains the phenomenon well in The Authoritarians. It’s literally how their brains are wired. The book is free here: https://theauthoritarians.org/
I'm only a chapter in, but found the section on conventionalism curious. It may explain why they take such issue with being called "weird": If they value their perception of being "normal", "weird" isn't just an insult used against people you don't like, it's an attack on a principal personality trait.
Yup. It attacks one of their core beliefs and makes them so damn mad.
