Fascist dictators think their symbols deserve respect as if they themselves are laws. I've always thought this idea is a psychosis.

This is what happens after years of legitimizing opinions as facts. They have zero critical thinking skills. It won't even occur to them that they are being mocked because it looks just like what they think is truth.

Many Trump voters don't have enough income to even pay income taxes. Even if tax cuts were equitably applied, they would see no benefit. That, IMO should make them vote for Democrats. But I guess fear of brown people, the woke and gender ambiguity is more important.
