Sub-Saharan Africa runs on the “Big Man” system. Donald Trump is the very embodiment of a Big Man. (This may also be why he inspires such fervent hatred among America’s feminized and soy-boy sectors.)
My doctor is from Nigeria, went to med school there in a mostly-muslim area. Did residency at US university. Best doc ever.
I know he’s Christian, ran into him in a store and he said he was just coming from Sunday school with the kids. He has a wife and three sons becoming teens quickly who will all need cars and college educations. Lives in a very nice area in a large home with, no doubt, a mortgage.
So I’m not seeing a “Big Man” theory at work here, I’m seeing a Republican who will vote for Trump for economic reasons.
