Omar is a Democrat but her post here hints at straying from the party.

There's a reason people love strongmen. Strongmen project the image of power, and in the jungle, following the powerful guy has been the best survival strategy so we evolved an instinct to follow the powerful.

A lot of what the US calls "dictators" don't even need to rig the election, they are actually that popular.

Donald is not really *powerful*, but he projects the image of power and when things are as much a mess as they are, people crave that.
