    I’ll just add: I don’t think there’s any real charisma. I think he just has had an audience particularly suited to gullibility, to whom trust is earned by mere repetition, and then been given decades of time to show his face. Every segment of his that I’ve seen is him speaking like someone spoon-feeding elementary-school logic to a mentally infirm grandparent.

      I mean… That’s the Republican base. They vote, and they buy whatever they’re told to by these chucklefucks. There’s a lot of advertising money in the fascist grift world.
