I just want a 'dear leader' like the fascists have, is that so wrong?

Just imagine you're a fish and he's a shiny thing. That's all the neural complexity happening in the minds of people that find Trump charismatic.
Or a better exercise: turn on a Fox News interview with a democrat and listen with a wet towel over the speaker so all you hear is tones, not words. Imagine you're a stray dog- all you hear is 'strength' and 'weakness' of human vocal tones. Anyone that isn't an approved conservative voice will sound frustrated and exasperated while the conservative sounds confident and self-assured. Ignore the words, hear the tones- that's what Trump's 'charisma' is- biological manipulation of mammalian instincts. Biden doesn't have that power because his target audience is humans that try to defy their animal nature. Trump can speak directly to the human animal.
He studied pro wrestling. He perfected the heel.
See the movie “Man in the Moon” about Andy Kaufman for context.
Loved that movie. Kaufman laughing when he realized the guru-cancer extraction thing was a con is the spice of life.
Dang. That is a deep cut.
I had forgotten about that. Maybe I blocked it out.
It is a great movie.
Well said.
Several other Lemmings have reported that playing Trump speeches for their MAGA relatives at 1.5x speed breaks the spell. The hypnotic effect vanishes, and all that they hear is the words, which are drivel.
