    He is “confident” which for most means simple being a giant asshole without a hint of introspection or care for others. It’s a trait people love because they wish they could bear being a giant asshole themselves but their fear of unfavorable judgement from others keeps them in check.

      Stop it with the sugarcoating. He’s a fascist, a Nazi. He promises to inflict pain on others, and that’s what’s appealing to half of American voters. Not the “confidence”. They get off on the hate and cruelty, whether they admit it or not. They are, in every literal sense of the word, textbook fascists. No need to make excuses for them.
