The fervent, paranoid, obsessive behaviour exhibited from Trump’s base, which was given lighter fluid during his administration is uncomfortable for me. The searching belief nirvana is over the horizon, that all the pain we are experiencing now is temporary and the time and hope we have invested will be worth it, deifying someone to an ideology that might provide a framework for all the ills, real or imagined, in our lives remind me of the desperate, fraught, blinded way of combing the world for clues I am guilty of too.
