Machia voted for Trump, drawn by promises of border control and national security. “We didn’t want drugs or gangbangers,” he said. But what he didn’t expect was losing some of his most dedicated employees to immigration arrests.

“It’s scaring the farming community,” Machia admitted. “We didn’t think they’d come for the people who help us milk cows.”

Yeah, because Vermont had so many issues at the Canafian border... and "gangbangers" are such a big problem in rural areas lol

They have imagined a threat (there isn't one) so they can imagine they are in danger or persecuted (they aren't), so they can imagine they deserve a savior (they don't), who they imagine Donald Trump to be (he most definitely isn't one).

I'd say it's a cult, but I doubt most cults even require this level of mental gymnastics.

The difference between a religion and a cult is there is no longer someone in a religion that knows it's all BS.

ROFL

Indeed, once it takes hold, it does its thing on its own like a virus.
