What's really sad is that he has grabbed some of the very educated, too. My parents are educated people who used to encourage learning and critical thinking. They now justify everything Trump et al. do. If you're predisposed to cult thinking, you will wind up in a cult, no matter your education...

Sad, but true. I think it's easier for the uneducated and weak-minded to be drawn in, but I guess if a demagogue's rhetoric matches a person's beliefs/fears/prejudices/etc., then the propaganda and lies will take the place of provable facts, debunking of lies, and (not so common) decency.
