I can understand the appeal of the conservative viewpoint....but I just can’t understand the appeal of Trump.
In respect of that which auntblabby succinctly stated:
auntblabby wrote:
in a nutshell, trumpy's appeal to his base is he gives them "permission" to be deplorable. permission to be nativist, racist, bigoted, selfish. permission to be their worst selves. he leads them by his rotten example, and has elevated selfishness into a virtue just like rand said.
Here's a couple briefs from their respective articles with links covering the personae cult of Donald Trump, starting with a psychological assessment:
Quote:
Trump’s Appeal: What Psychology Tells Us ~ In Brief:
Donald Trump's rallies enacted how Trump and his followers would like the country to be. They were, in essence, identity festivals.
Trump succeeded by providing a categorical grid—a clear definition of groups and intergroup relations—that allowed many Americans to make sense of their lived experiences.
Within this framework, he established himself as a prototypical American and a voice for people who otherwise felt voiceless.
His rivals did not deploy the skills of identity leadership to present an inclusive narrative of “us.” In that context, Trump had a relatively free run.

And then this demographic assessment involving campaigning and voting trends:
Quote:
The Story of Trump's Appeal ~ Key Findings:
Voters who held views of immigrants, Muslims, minorities, and feminist women as the undeserving “other” were particularly susceptible to Trump’s appeal in both the primaries and the general election.
The economic concerns of voters made contributions to Trump’s success, both directly and indirectly, through promoting the cultural attitudes associated with Trump support.
Views on trade, contrary to the conventional wisdom, did not appear to have much of an independent effect on Trump support in either the primaries or the general election.
