How to talk about Trump using trumpspeak (and why you should)

Making objective, factual arguments works well if you are trying to discern, or convey, the truth about the world. Trump is not concerned with truth at all. It isn’t even on his radar screen. And his followers are fine with that. I am aghast at how you can point out Trump’s lies to them, and they simply laugh it off. They really don’t care. Trump’s goals have nothing to do with truth. They have to do with power and control, and the satisfaction he gets from manipulating people. Debating about what is true, is tilting at windmills. There is no one arguing back. They are on the playground beating up another nerd.

Agreed. But I have a question: Trump’s goals have to do with power, control and manipulating. But what do his followers goals have to do with? That is the part I don’t understand.
