After he's had 15 of these hissy fits, even the dumbest of his followers will start to catch on



That’s a very optimistic view of group dynamics. And one easily disproven by the following of one Donald T.

Much more likely is that after a few cycles those still involved have made it part of their identity.

That is not so. Donald Trump followers are not a static set. DT does lose and gain followers.

What might be true that some persona, no matter how disagreeable, will always have some followers.

Convicted criminals get love letters from strange women and all that.

If this artist continues in that way, most of his followers will come to consist only of people who are attracted by his obnoxious personality, without any connection to the works he creates. In the eyes of the world at large, he will just be that kitch-producing wanker with the idiot followers.


some people are dumb as hell and or like drama / lack critical thinking skills.


Trump supporters indicate otherwise.
