I believe you will find that that is true of all insane dictators - since the time of Rome anyway. Alexander 'the Great" (he holds the record for number of mass murders something like 25 times the Naxi's was worshiped by his people - hence the name "the great" after having depopulated most of the then 'modern world.
Stalin was adored - he simply imprisoned or killed anyone who didn't, Mussolini was considered a demi-god for making the trains run on time and Hitler, well we know there was NO German reisistence. American business leaders like Henry Ford & Thomas Edison wanted a Nazi Party in the US, up until Pearl Harbor they pressured FDR to join the war on the side of Germany.
They're all "GODS" for people who lack morals, scruples or human kindness
I was just informed by a friend that "when fascists win, they never win for long. They get a few glorious years then it all comes crumbling down."
I beg to differ, because in those glorious few years we've seen them murder millions, assembly line style.
When authoritarians of any stripe win, they murder millions or even TENS of millions assembly line style.
And in the end, they don't actually LOSE the way most understand the definition of the word.
Mussolini was shot by partisans, yes...but even today you find people who yearn for "the good old days when the trains ran on time".
Hitler did himself in with poison if I remember correctly, but even after Germany unconditionally surrendered, we still see massive numbers of people
who venerate him as a god, don't we?
Sorry, but when authoritarians win, they win forever because their martyrdom resonates with millennia of conditioning by religion.
And this same veneration and worship for Trump will continue forever, for the same reason.
They think he's a god walking the Earth.
