You’d have to dial back to the founders to see kind of relationship between the people and a leader. This has not been seen in modern American history.
Of course, people like you would probably deny this.
People “like me”?
What has your comment to do with mine about relations between leader and “people”?
Anyway I would totally disagree.
This is sycophantic. It is cultish and slavish. Unhealthy.
People adored George Washington, revered him greatly for excellent reason - for a century. No one has ever been so exulted as GW.
As for lately, we had a damn good relationship with Ron Reagan - and it wasn’t obsessive and dependent.
I could even state “people” had a tight relationship with FDR, much as I despise him.
None of these is as perverse as this obsession with Trump.
