One would think that after a while you would get tired of the flavour of dirty leather boots, of cleaning up your masters excrement only to have him hurl it at you again. That doesn't seem to be the case with many.

They can handle the "master's" things, and pretend they own them. they're surrounded by riches, even though they can't really partake. They have to dress up and be presentable at any moment's notice to serve the other rich folks - like all the other things around the mansion need to be spotlessly presentable - rather than wear clothes they want or clothes they can afford and interact with normal people and own their own actions.
Bootlickers live by a script; they don't have to think because they "represent" their hero masters; if they pretend hard enough and shut away enough of their own feel like they exist in a world that they otherwise wouldn't have any access to. It's like being high on a drug.

(6,154 posts)I think it's about getting a taste of the power trip that Trump is on. It's difficult to understand though how they can repeatedly get back up and crawl to his side apologetically after he repeatedly throws them under the bus. All week his aids have been doing overtime lying and building preposterous stories to explain his behaviour. They fawn over him to the point it's sickening. And then he just turns around and throws them under the bus by denying the lies that they are using to protect him.
