It’s amazing, well not really!
They can’t see that Trump is just the visible part of the great dissatisfaction with the professional political establishment. There is no Trump worship or cult, if it exists only in miniscule numbers. (Some people seem to need to do that!) They see that enthusiasm for Trump and interpret it as a “Cult of Personality” because that’s how the left does and sees things politically. They build a cult around someone for political purposes. They view people as an unthinking herd, that needs to be herded by “the cult”! For example, the Kennedy Cult is still alive and well in many places, even here on FR.
Its dissatisfaction with the current practice of politics, NOT our Constitutional structure. Dissatisfaction with how its practiced, its slimy corrupt professionalism far removed as we see it from what the Founding Fathers intended. All of us realize that there is always “politics” of some form and it’s a product of human nature, but not this! This just exploits human nature!
The dissatisfaction would still be there even without Trump. Trump is useful because he’s effectively immune from the normal hazards of politics. Not being a professional politician, he doesn’t need the work. He can just say “Screw it!” and walk away anytime. So far, he hasn’t, which is good for us! If he did walk away the dissatisfaction and resentment of the professional political class would still be there. It would latch on the next Trump or grow and explode into something unfortunate and perhaps out of control.
We have a few on our side. Ashley Babbitt was one.
Almost everyone else in politics have some weak point that an astute villain can take advantage of but Trump? Wailing, cries and bitterness over his steadfast refusal to be swayed so far doesn't compromise him. He's playing a far larger game with his shortening time here all of us patriots behind him. This is about us against the supervillain George Soros because we don't have a real super agent to counter him.
