Could someone please explain to me the almost religious fervor Trump's followers have?

Every time I try to have a logical debate on his policies, like I would about any other politician, I get shouted down with cries of "Libtard!" or "Fake news!" as if there's no reasoning with them. Sure, every news story has a bias, but the facts themselves are usually correct, but they ignore ot insult anything others see as a character flaw in Trump. And please don't shout me down again--I want a real answer.

    They're too invested in him to admit a mistake, and, let's be honest some are too stupidly brainwashed to understand what his behavior means in the world at large.

    To them there is no reason we need to worry about the world at large, we only need to worry about ourselves. You can't argue with them its an alternate universe they live in now. Just let them ramble on, they will anyway.

    I was not a Trump supporter, but I did vote for him.

    You are mentioning the fervor of the Trump supporters, but have you not seen the same thing for Obama and Clinton supporters? The fawning, etc. Did you fail to see the violent, rioting, destruction reaction from many liberals after the elections and past inauguration day? I would categorize that as fervor.

    As for your assertion that the news is biased, I agree. But that the facts are usually correct - I very much disagree with that assertion.

    The facts are often not correct, often slanted, and many important stories that do not fit the narrative are completely ignored. It is despicable behavior from "journalists." They have become political hacks and they most certainly do lie. This has been happening for decades now, it is not new, and many people are VERY sick of it, thus part of the reason for the fervor.

    Many people have been VERY sick of politicians in general for decades as well, therefore the fervor for a non politician.

    But the main reason - The Economy. MANY people were negatively affected as far as being able to make a living and support their families. Obama's policies hurt many people. Clinton would have been more of the same. So people went for the person talking about jobs.

    Many people are sick of illegal immigrants coming into the country and being a drain on our resources (which include jobs). Trump talked about stopping illegal immigration and sending the criminal illegals home.

    People also support him for talking about repealing Obamacare. It has negatively impacted VERY MANY people, myself included.

    Then you look at the candidate running against him - Hillary Clinton. She was a VERY poor candidate with way too many skeletons in her closet (that's putting it kindly).

    Many liberals seem to love her, but there are many non liberals who despise her. Those of us who have watched her for decades and have seen the despicable things she has done. She was an awful choice for a candidate.

    Besides being a poor candidate Clinton had basically nothing good to offer on the economy and failed to visit many states during her campaign assuming she had them in the bag, big mistake.

    I could go on, but this is a good start.

    Trumps "followers" have been waiting quite a while for someone who actually does believe as they do and actually does honour his word.... and CANNOT be bought.

    EXTREMELY RARE in todays political climate.

    If corrupt liberal lunatics conspire to remove this man from office under some BS pretext... You absolutely do not want to see the response. It will not end well at all for the substantially unarmed snowflake traitors.

    My best guess is that most of them were raised by their mothers in single parent homes

    Trump is the domineering male authority father figure that they've always wanted But never had

    Now that they have their Daddy Don in their lives they feel that they have to protect him from all that would want to take him away from them

    You can thank that scumbag illegal alien muslim piece of $hit hussein 0bama for the almost religious fervor Trump's followers have. They are so happy to have a real POTUS that loves America, and her people, after having this scumbag illegal alien muslim piece of $hit hussein 0bama for 8 long years that hated America, and her people.

    We have found the same thing, we are old and have been through a lot of elections. But never saw people so violent about politics. I always thought McCain was a good person. Yet, if you say that they call you a demodrad or liptard. He has a scary cult following that is not like anything I have ever seen before. They seem afraid of Muslim's so much. Probably everyday in the news another Muslim blows up something in the middle east which scares people. There is going to be a back lash against them in this country.

    They bought in. Trump tells them what they want to hear and justifies their hateful beliefs, so they stand up for him no matter what, no matter how often he blatantly lies to them.
