Apparently it’s what happens when someone has a lot of supporters who are easily offended even when that someone is mean, unhinged and amoral. I’m guessing.

They know he won’t and instead of pushing back and forcing him to comply, they just bake it into their expectations for him. It is indeed maddening.

Führerprinzip. It's an utter childlike abdication. People all are elites have decided the world is too complicated for them and they're just going to hand the responsibility over to Donald Trump.

Because he gets away with everything his supporters would do if they could get away with it, they've been living vicariously through him for 10 years, and they *will not give that up*. Politicians won't stop him because they all believe they will be POTUS someday & want the same dictator powers.

It is baffling that no company has tried simply not paying them. See what happens!

I know you like to say "media isn't prepared to handle a right wing authoritarian party" and I'm very much starting to have the opinion that they *were* prepared for it
