The low level life forms that
cheered O.J.’s white Bronco as it traveled from the murder scene toward the
Mexican border and the celebrity loving ghouls who, to this day, go on tours to
follow the path of the murderous man of fame from his mansion to the death
scene at the condo where Ms. Simpson and Mr. Goldman were slashed to death,
have much in common with the supporters of Donald Trump.
Trump, though, wouldn’t just
murder 2 people. This degenerate who
advocates extreme torture, which is a war crime, advocates another war crime:
The killing of families of Middle East terrorists. But the followers of this reality show superstar,
who in their worshipful, frenzied shouts at screams at Tump rallies adore this
supposed man of power – just like O.J fans. – care not for morality or even
common decency.
Where would the fans of O.J.
and Trump draw the line? If they were
child molesters and human traffickers would their fame and supposed power even
disgust them? Perhaps not. After all, the rapist Bill Cosby has many
defenders.
Psychologists found that about a third
of people qualified for a condition they coined "celebrity worship
syndrome, " one in which the devoted fan becomes increasingly hooked
into the object of their attention, until their feelings begin to resemble addiction. The identification with the fantasy figure
becomes a substitute for reality. The
idealization of the celebrity figure means that one cannot separate fact from
fiction.
To be blunt about it, this is sheer
madness. For millions, not to be able to
see O.J. and Trump for what they are –sociopathic monsters – is a manifestation
of a sick, diseased culture.
