How can millions and millions be wrong?
They were called upon to defend democracy and freedom and they have been found wanting.
It is also a form of group think. Sociopaths are extremely manipulative and know which buttons to push to get a following. As many Trump supporters say: He spake to me............ He is able to target a group that is particularly pliable. (and suggest able) His supporters were able to identify with his basic and simplistic language.(lack of sophistication)
He was able to persuade them into believers and devotees . What they failed to see is that they were manipulated by a person who is interested on only one thing......HIMSELF and the gain of Power.Because he is rich...and "successful" the two important elements of US culture ........it made him seems plausible. They never questioned HOW he got rich or what his behavior was like when he was getting richer. Particularly how he treats people around him. He demands devotion but gives none in return. It is evident to most that he is a pathological liar. . and evader of the facts/ truths. He has no real moral standards ,let alone ethical ones. He has a sense of great entitlement.
It doesn't bother him to cheat, lie , bribe etc etc. to get and have what HE wants.
He is incoherent. , has memory gaps, repeats himself and not realistic or sensible when speaking without a prompter He is overly suspicious, demanding, hyper critical, angry, inappropriate ....over reacts, obsesses about hurts perceived insults. revengeful, has a cruel streak. He has a pathological need to intimidate and control others. He provokes when there is NO rational/reasonable reason to do so and creates consequences for himself and others AND DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE.
Not the characteristics of a stable person ...
