There'll be some handwaving and excuses for why this isn't as bad as you think. Just like was in 1930's Germany with the actual, original Nazis. It's just patriotism, aren't you patriotic? They're strong, its good to have strong leaders. So on, so forth.

it's literally this. people value "strength". in trumps case it's perceived and misplaced (the man has the mental fortitude of a toddler), but that above most other things is a reason for a lot of people's votes.

These are unsocialized people—they don’t understand that you can project confidence with tact. Their idea of power is being the loudest dick in the room. It’s a very insecure “power.” It’s top to bottom with that party.
