Trump has endorsed 100% racism, sexism, classicism, homophobia, nationalism, religious prejudice, ageism, misogyny, and xenophobia. This is all these people want. If being lied to makes this right then they do not care.

They don't care that they're being lied to. It's about their way of life vs. our way of life. As long as Trump continues his rallies, raging against Democratic ideals, they're happy.

His followers don't care about the GOP or the party platform. They are a cult in support of a cult leader.

They care about the man and him being in power. They like that he is supposedly rich and says and does whatever he pleases - the rest of the world be damned. They like that because they want to be him.

They're a place for them to feel like they're a part of something - complete with chants, targets (the press, etc), threats, etc
It's activating the parts of their brain and "bonding" them to trump and other trump supporters

truly a cult

trump is using his wrestling experience to do this - with all the "showmanship" etc - truth, etc simply does not matter - just the show.

One of the only fortunate things is he can't really do the "god" thing. He can throw bones to them with court picks, etc - but doesn't have the "jesus/faith" thing. That's what pence is for.

If he DID have some type of religious / bible stuff going on - or could pull it off - we'd be in even WORSE shape.
