"the rapacious and unashamedly vulgar property tycoon who has astonishingly won over conservative America ..."
Trump has not won over conservative America- he has won a cult following.
This is true and these cultists refuse to believe how disliked Trump is by the sane members of society.
The original Trump fascination started because of frustration and hatred. Trump spoke out against Muslims ... which a lot of people are afraid to do out loud because of fear of being accused of intolerance and racism. This struck a chord with people.... it did with me.
But the more we learned about Trump and the more he talked, it became obvious that he is a low-life, self-obsessed jerk.
It became obvious to most of us, that is, but the trumpers seemed to thrive on defending Trump and the more they defended him, the more loyal they seemed to get to him. Yes, it is a cult.
