"While its causes are still debated, the political behavior of authoritarians is not. Authoritarians obey. They rally to and follow strong leaders. And they respond aggressively to outsiders, especially when they feel threatened. From pledging to “make America great again” by building a wall on the border to promising to close mosques and ban Muslims from visiting the United States, Trump is playing directly to authoritarian inclinations."

This certainly explains a number of posts I've seen lately.

Remember that the strong Authority that founded this nation when it was great was the Holy Bible and the God it speaks about. In returning the nation to its original purposes, a leader is also a follower. Many, if no most of Trump's followers are not following him so much as seeking someone who will defend their right to follow the authority of Truth.
