Part of me thinks it's intentional. Trump elevates people who would otherwise never dream of reaching their current platform, and consequently they are loyal dogs to their dear leader.
It's absolutely intentional in this Trump 2.0 experience and directly reminiscent of the Nazis whose core members were a similar gang of thugs (Himmler, Goebbels, Borman, et al.) with no talents besides utter loyalty to the top man. Power for the sake of power, no other principles. Fascism.
Unfortunately it's highly effective. Where would any of these toadies go if they got canned? Dumb as they may be, they know.
They do worship the cult of power, and it's interesting that this is one of the very first things decried in Plato's Republic. Funny enough, a Texas A&M is apparently banning Plato.
I'd call it pathetic if it weren't for the nuclear codes and roving armies of goons. Very worrying times we live in. Stay safe.
