They exhibit the following traits:

- A high degree of submission to the authorities who are perceived to be established and legitimate in the society in which one lives.

- A general aggressiveness, directed against various persons, that is perceived to be sanctioned by established authorities.

- A high degree of adherence to the social conventions that are perceived to be endorsed by society and its established authorities.

Is what is happening currently in the good ole US of A really what they want?


Yes, they do. They want someone to think for them and tell them what to do and entertain them (by owning the libs). Vulnerable people fall prey to cults, and Trump preyed on them. It's very hard for people to leave one.

I think this is a better analysis/reference point than OP's link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumpism
