[quote:Anonymous Coward 46576536:MV8zMTA0MjQwXzU1MzI2Mjk3XzM5RjU3MTU4] Just watched a bunch of fanatics waving flags and screaming behind Hillary as she spoke. Your argument applies to all people that back their party candidate. But, I disagree with you anyway. trump supporters are supporting a man that represents our same feelings on issues, we don't follow him for some sick "authoritarian" inclination. I personally don't like his rudeness, but I do like a boss that knows how to get things done, just like I do. I'm a boss too, and a business owner. I work hard and know what it takes, and what it takes is someone like him at this point in time. [/quote]

Authoritarian inclinations.
"Since the rise of Nazi Germany, it has been one of the most widely studied ideas in social science. While its causes are still debated, the political behavior of authoritarians is not. Authoritarians obey. They rally to and follow strong leaders. And they respond aggressively to outsiders, especially when they feel threatened. From pledging to “make America great again” by building a wall on the border to promising to close mosques and ban Muslims from visiting the United States, Trump is playing directly to authoritarian inclinations."

This also explains some of the fanaticism of a Trump supporter. You guys think Obama is bad? You haven't seen anything yet. Trump would make us the 'New China'.
...and the worse part of this is, Trump supporters will see this as a good thing.
