From the beginning of his first campaign to today, former and current president Donald Trump has an extreme following. The nature of this following is bizarre and concerning as it is never good to follow one person without questioning. All leaders should be held responsible for all actions even from those who put them in power.
The nature of this loyalty goes past the admiration of the first President George Washington who became popular for leading the American Revolution. The loyalty then was understandable as an Empire they disliked was expelled. Donald Trump along with most presidents do not have a fraction of accomplishments compared to Washington yet many in his base will push back at any criticism and more concerning, want him to be president for life. America prides itself for checks and balances however the new movement with Trump wishes to strip that down to allow Trump to do what he likes.
Washington who could have had that did the unprecedented move to step down at a time where monarchies were the norm. This post is not to attack anyone personally who voted for Trump but an attempt to look inside the reasoning of this level of devotion to Trump.
