People ALWAYS want a leader. That's a constant and it's precisely what the Dems DON'T have -- nor anyone in sight -- and so it's easy to fill the void with a bombastic, narcissistic buffoon. And besides, the Dems are arguably AT LEAST as bad -- Nixon Repuboicans rebranded as the Dem war faction. The ONLY thing they have is identity politics ... and they're fumbling that, too.
Parenthetically, the USA deserves what it is getting. We've spent half a century in a wholesale desctruction of public education, abandoned the notion of civic preparedness and mindedness, and embraced the 80's "Me Generation" motto of "damn the torpedoes, full ME ahead." If it can't be fixed, then it MUST be burned down.
Nice rant, but may I offer a simple formula?
Resentment + grievance + ignorance = MAGA
