What we are seeing with Trump is a nationalistic populist movement sucking in a lot of good patriotic people. People better figure Trump out pretty quick or we will be in more trouble than we are already in. Trump is no true conservative, but for a few slip-ups that betray him, he could get an Oscar for his performance. This is no more than 1930s and 2008 populism déjà vu in a completely different cloak. Trump is using the modus operandi described in Eric Hoffer's 1951 book, "The True Believer" - Thoughts On The Nature Of Mass Movements. Trump has found a void and has created a cult following. He is taking legitimate issues and concerns and using them to generate a fanatical mass movement of "True Believers" -- intoxicated Trumpaholics, and Tump is their cult leader. There is no way to talk to many of them; their minds have been snatched. Many will not realize the fantasy until it all falls down. History repeats. It is déjà vu all over again.

If you are against nationalism nowadays, you are a globalist one-worlder, just like heidi cruz and perhaps her husband too.

Obviously it hasn’t dawned on you that people who support Trump are patriots who are sick and tired of being SOLD OUT by teh elites. The establishment has to go. We don’t have control any more over those who are elected to speak FOR us. They just do whatever they want to sell out America. WE THE PEOPLE are FED UP and TRUMP is the ONLY ONE listening to us!
