I've said it from the beginning: Trump's cult is loyal to him solely because he gives them permission to be their worst selves. His entire movement is a celebration of vice, bigotry, selfishness, and cruelty while virtue is demonized.

A painfully racist, child-raping, minority mocking, talentless orange stained nepo-baby spineless hateful sack of shit. His supporters aspire to be just like him, the irony being that they already are.

This is what a plurality of Americans want for themselves: The ability to be as crude, as racist, as greedy, and as sexist as they feel in their dark black hearts. They want to live that way without an ounce of shame, and things will not get better as long as we are forced to live among them.

Also important is that Trump was a beacon to many of his kind that showed garish ignorance and depravity need not be taken as a personal failing but as the valid basis for their identity
