If we ponder how political acolytes mindlessly follow idiots and swear they are the second coming we’ll begin to understand what’s happening here. Critical thinking has fallen off in popularity much like the fucking hula hoop. In other words people are not doing it. They eat prepackaged food. They listen to prepackaged news. They obey their politics mentors and vote for people who couldn’t put together an IKEA stool let alone a national budget. What you’re pointing out is spot on. People want to be part of something even if it’s stupid. I know that sounds means but it’s the only thing that answers the question- why.
