thanks for the explanation, i will watch the video link you gave me.
but really, i watched a couple of speeches of his, and i just could not grasp what he was talking about. it was like listening to a rambling drunken friend, that you have to bring home, and you yourself are sober.
I realized like you that it is not the content or the actions, it is a brand that appeals to their emotions (and the grown-ups too who got conditioned to react to a type of branding over the years). It's just like selling an Adidas.
And it's tragic, because he stands against everything they could ever gain...like an opioid...which reminds me of the Shady Vance quote:

lol
yeah, i was surprised, i live in europe, you know, i dont know anything. so i was watching this conservative panel, and they were all saying that they realized he does not have the same ethics as them at all, it was comical how they tried to explain it to the MAGA people.
thanks for links, thats a good read
