The George W Bush years were full of this stuff on FR. It bordered on parody. I’ve wondered about this small subset of freepers who idolize the president, the first lady, their family. Perhaps this is the same impulse that has driven monarchies throughout history.

Constitutional monarchies, like the UK’s, don’t seem so bad. William, Kate and their kids look like decent people who have been trained to empathize about people whose lives are not as comfortable as their own.

It’s tyrannies you have to worry about, when minorities are driven over and not given a chance at trying their policies out in practice. Alternating policies that can be tried, abandoned, and other policies tried are less likely to cause long term harm. Natural corrections built in. Like the way we reacted to Obama with Trump.

As for Trump, et al, absolutely adore them. If there was a fandom, I’d be a premiere Trumpster with a lifetime ticket on the Trump Train and an IMMENSE photo of him hanging in my library.

Oh, I am. And the photo is.

Perhaps they are simply patriots seeking deliverance from the insanity of the Far Left.
