What makes people sticking to Trump?

My wife often wonder why Trump voter don’t see that the former president has done nothing for them, and I respond, “That’s doesn’t matter, they still love him!” My reason for saying this, is that Trump (or more appropriately, Steve Bannon and company) understood one essential element: Scapegoating.

He and his team identified two areas that could be built relentlessly into society’s scapegoats: The Democratic (aka socio-communist) party and the Media (Fox New and a few select “others” excepted) and it worked beautifully. 

People were miserable and not successful because of bad luck or because they were simply stupid or lazy, it was now because of these two evil forces, removing the proverbial monkey off their back. In fact, it’s a lot easier to convince folks to be against something than in favor of anything. 

I sure did work, and why wouldn’t it because it’s so much easier to blame a third party for one’s unhappiness than one’s own fault!
