Trump Enslavement Syndrome - Orange man good. /r/The_Donald and any public demonstration of rabid pro-Trump enthusiasm in spite of all reason.

Considering that Hillary won the popular vote, it's hilarious how much of a shoo in GOPpers think Trump's victory is. As if he's destined to win Arizona or Ohio by God's grace.

I've been seeing those ads on youtube too, and I really like the ones with the athletes endorsing Trump.

I've always wondered is there anyone out there so feeble-minded that they were like "I didn't know who to vote for, but then I saw mixed-martial arts fightman endorse Trump/cool acting lady endorse Biden, so now I am going to vote for that person!" I mean, I could see "I don't want to vote for either of them so fuck it, why not", but to earnestly believe they've made the right choice because they saw a celebrity endorsement?

I don't know much about American politics, and I don't know if this was the case with other presidents, but there seems to be a cult of personality surrounding Trump. I don't remember ever seeing Americans get so obsessed with any politician before Trump. Did Obama and Clinton have such a large following? I don't remember the political divide being quite as large as it currently is either. It just feels like I am watching a country which will tear itself apart.
Also, what is the relationship between USA and the rest of the world currently? In my small friend circle, you people are seen as a laughingstock. I can't help but fear that I am watching a fall of a superpower.
I seriously don't see what the appeal of Trump is, he says a lot of dumb shit, makes a fool out of himself and his country constantly, and people somehow eat it up.

Going to answer this since I stated this a few pages back but yes. Pretty much any charismatic president had some form of cult of personality the biggest offenders were Obama and Ronald Reagan. Clinton also had one but it’s mostly 90’s kids.

Right-wingers like Trump because he makes left-wingers mad. That's it.

Seriously? Do people genuinely like him just because he "triggers the libs"? They are aware that the rest of the world thinks he is a clown, and that America is his circus? My goddamn, backwater, backwards, pseudo-dictatorship of a country thinks the US is a joke, can't imagine what the rest of the world thinks.

People don't care about politics, they care about making the other side look like retards. Conservatives think liberals are idiots so someone who makes them look like idiots even more is going to be loved by them. That's why AOC is so popular as well, she makes conservatives look like retarded evil old white people. So as a result, libs like her.

That's how it is in America these days. The "stopped clock" principle is dead-if the people you disagree with are wrong about one thing, then they're wrong about EVERYTHING.
