Seriously, what motivates people like Bannon and Trump? [View all]

It seems to be more than just power. They carry around serious anger, deep resentments. Nor is it rooted in ideology - it's something else. There's a genuine ugliness about them. You can see it in their faces. You can see it in the way they move. You can see it in their denial of reality.

So, what is their motivation. You can say "hate." But why? What is the root cause of it?

It's like a political movement fueled by mental illness.

I'd like to see some studies done on this phenomenon.

Any one have any thoughts, ideas?
