Trump is not some genius, he’s just an abusive asshole with a megaphone.
As the son of a former abusive asshole myself, there’s truth in it. A large percentage of people will accept abuse for close to a decade, but usually they inevitably snap and try getting away from the abuse.
It just requires constant small losses to realize, and you can’t let them rot alone. Otherwise they fall even deeper into a cult-like thinking.
Maybe it should be seen a little akin addiction, they need a reminder, there’s a small way to get back to how things were before.
