      I disagree. I don’t like listening to him, but I can understand why the people that are attracted to right wing grievance politics are entranced by his style.

      Like any cult leader, it’s the rhythm of the words. If you’re somebody like me (and presumably you) then you get caught up on the abhorrent things he’s saying. If you generally agree with his premises and nod along, I think it’s easy to almost get hypnotized.

      Yeah just typical fascist behavior from someone who we know sucks. Wish we could somehow mix an educated person with the incredible stupid that appeals to regressive voters. I were one of them voters in the past and my god every person here underestimates how ridiculously stupid they are. Like imagine punching yourself in the face, realizing how much it hurt, then doing it a few dozen more times. That’s what Republican voters do every year. I used to enjoy that punch and their voters still do. Tell them they are stupid publicly then they might change and it’s why education fixed me (professors DGAF).

      He’s extremely hard to listen to. Apparently, Hitler was like that to - the more educated and intellectual circles made fun of him for rambling like an idiot most of the time, but got in line so long as their work was unaffected
