So I'm far more concerned of what those people will do. They all desperately crave massive power, and will do virtually anything to get it, and who knows what will happen after they do. (Which they will if he's elected.) Now they all know they need only to praise him endlessly, and they'll get to do whatever they like.
But my bigger concern is that there is a good reason so many support Trump, and I think it has little to do with Trump himself. They are, as am I, thoroughly disgusted with the status quo. We are all at the mercy of the rich and powerful, and we all know it. They're willing to do literally anything to tear down the system and start over. I can't say I much blame them for that. Democrats aren't much different than Republicans. Perhaps their only "advantage" is being able to con their own followers that they care. Which they don't. (Except for a select few, who have zero chance of getting elected to the presidency, let alone accomplishing anything meaningful if they did.) Far too much control already exists with the rich and powerful, and there is no way to get it back without tearing down the system. They know and control the system, inside and out. They literally run the country, not the politicians or the government. Let alone the people.
How is being at the mercy of the rich and powerful going to be solved by supporting one of the rich and powerful? Sheesh.
