This isn’t shitpost material, this is reality of how the human mind works, and www.thisman.org that you linked is another example of the human brain works. This s the very meaning of ‘Demon-haunted world’, where people compulsively flock and put their faith into someone without scrutinizing the actions the person is taking. People read a book and say they personally know Jesus… if you haven’t met such a person in your lifetime if you have lived in North America, I’d be surprised.
This isn’t shitpost material, this is the nightmare of reality that’s trending towards self-destruction. Since 2014 crowds have been flocking to icons and symbols of things that are objectively bad.
Ok, I’ve got it wrong, you said hundreds, this is a shitpost.
The meme itself is a kind of evidence, regardless of the underlying truth of the claims. Popular actors and what’s used in commercials is often run through A/B testing to find out what people react the most to.
Trump as an icon very much was crafted just like this artists story;… he has crossed into the key spotlight point several times in his life. As much as almost anyone in human history. My concern isn’t just that people dream of icons like this, but that they can’t seem to tell when it is a nightmare and negative - and they are drawn to it. Which Trump isn’t a novelty meme or art project.
