As a mom-and-pop shop owner, you're part of the locale, and part of the population. Trump has become a brand. Separate and exclusive from other people within a human society, and a total egomaniac. Just as other huge corporations and their heads often are. This whole cult of personality revolving around Trump, and especially those who think that a person at the center of such a phenomenon, is fucking frightening. And for those who are Trump supporters simply because Bernie identifies with Socialism should look into other leaders who were in power because of the force of cults of personality. Stalin, for instance. Hitler, for another. I suppose you could argue Washington was and history's determined by the victor, but he didn't use charisma and lies as a primary tool to gain leadership, and unlike Trump would be, he was an effective leader and at the forefront of an idea held by the majority.
