You're forgetting a fundamental part of this sort of addiction. It HAS TO BE Trump. It's like how heroin users are loyal to heroin; cocaine users are loyal to cocaine. It will never matter who Democrats put forth; how great a leader that person is. They could literally resurrect George Washington (provided that was possible) and beg the 1st president, the one who set the standard for peaceful transfer of power and a two term limit, a Founding Father... beg him to please run again and MAGAts would still say he's a baby eating demon come to assassinate baby Jesus come again. George Washington.

They are in the grip of a fever in the same way David Koresh's and Jim Jones' followers were in a fever. It's not like there haven't been plenty of religious hacks around all over. David Koresh's followers would not have fallen for Jim Jones' bullshit and vice versa. For each of their followers, it HAD TO BE him. No one else. That's what a cult of personality is. It's the personality theyre addicted to,, not the politics, the policies, thr platform, etc. It's a mass mania centered on a specific person.

They may be lost for good. Maybe the rest of us need to decide if we're going to get out before the Kool-aid gets passed around by the rifle bearering lieutenants of madness.... or not.
