It's the Left...everybody on the left gets into this hero worship shit. Hitler/Stalin/Castro/Che/Obama....always need some strong "daddy" type to lead them and give them shit. I know Reagan is revered but it ain't like this.
UM
dude
Trump is the EXACT same thing.
People are people. You're right, the 'daddy' types DO work well with the authoritarian fans, those who like a strong leader, no matter what he says - they're just drawn to the leadership qualities, which trump certainly has.
so while you're right, you should stop saying 'the left' and start saying 'people'. Cause repubs are NOT in tune with trump's many positions and policies, they just love vague catch phrases like "greatness" and "the biggest" and "winning so much you'll be sick of it". He's like those lame fitness memes you see on shirts and billboards, empty catch phrases that the reader gets to fill with their own meaning.
Daddy - Trump is one to the right.
