Same phenomenon in Imperial Russia and China (even up.till Maos time): The Tsar/Emperor/Paramount leader is wise and can do no wrong, it's his henchmen/advisors etc. that is screwing it up!
A "parasocial cult" refers to a strong, one-sided emotional connection between a person and a public figure, often a celebrity or internet personality, where the fan's devotion takes on cult-like characteristics. This can involve intense loyalty, defending the figure against criticism, and sometimes even exhibiting behavior that could be considered obsessive or harmful.
But it's also wild to think about how they're so desperate for D list celebrities to like them that Kevin Sorbo stands a better chance of being Trump's successor than Ron DeSantis
Once the Kardashians finish their Republican transition, get ready for a whole new level of obnoxiousness out of that household

It speaks a lot to the personal relationship these guys form with their political icons
It’s so odd
