Tankie or MAGA?
(files.catbox.moe)
Seriously they make so many of the same arguments sometimes that I question whether or not .ml isnt a poe instance of some kind.
I think you missed the most crucial similarity which is that they both look to mold their views and actions around those of their leaders without any skepticism. This is what leads to the above traits.
While true once they get their ~~replacement daddy~~ Great Leader, in the absence of a suitable leader, they create their own groupthink. Tankies mostly lack leaders, instead passing around bad ideas like an STD; likewise, before Trump, the ultra-reactionaries in the US were more-than-willing to turn on their former leaders and idols for not following the stream-of-consciousness groupthink they'd developed, hence Rubio going from a darling of the Tea Party to a RINO in record time, despite becoming no less cretinous in that time.
