1. "'young male Trump leaners recall Trump 1.0 so fondly they yearn for a repeat,'"

It's strictly based on "style" versus "substance. I.e., the appearance of being "macho" and "in control".

There is a subset of men who were either raised that way or are naturally that way, who value the one who can project the most "dominance".

It cuts across age, race, and ethnicity.

I expect the thought process going on there is that whatever "policy" one desires to enact, one can merely "force it into existence by use of their shear power", without any need for "discussion", or "compromise".

The minute someone hesitates to "discuss", they are then considered "wishy-washy" and dismissed as "weak".

This is what that tunnel-visioned group is looking for.
