    I’m trying to put that as neutral as I can.

    How do these people think politics work. I mean do they think that voting for a person or a party grants them some kind of personal (parasocial) relationship?

    I’m pretty sure that exists outside the US also, but I have only seen that coming from the US so far.

      Humans are naturally tribalistic and it exists on all spectrums regardless how much you force ‘education’ down their throats.

      Emotions, ego, bias, you name it, people just gravitate a certain way. A majority of Trump/Republican voters, I presume, are also acting on habit they’re forebearers set.
