When segments of Christianity radicalize into Dominonism, they accept authoritarianism. Author Chris Hedges calls them Christo-fascists. Their mindset is steeped in radical Calvinism and they become obsessed with dominance and submission. They start hating groups in society that they view as inferior. Political fascism does the same thing. It's an easy alliance between the two groups.
Sociopaths like tRump view themselves as demigods and need to be worshipped to feed their grandiosity. tRump's needy followers are obsessed with his omnipotence and need to worship him. It's a kind of sick symbiosis. The world of reality is left far behind.
Well said! It's a "sick symbiosis" indeed! They need someone to worship, and he needs to be worshiped! He also flatters them by making them feel important, just as they flatter him in the same way.
I actually think that he represents white, male, arrogant authority and they're used to falling in line behind men who strut around on the world stage dressed in those clothes.
Yes, he has become the hero of the broken middle class. They need someone to blame, so vengeance beocmes their tool against their targeted out groups. Classic fascism.
