I suspect that the "religion" so many of them pretend to follow has a role in this, as well. They're conditioned to blindly follow an iconic authority figure without question. Since the first day they go to church. That certainly makes sense in a psychological and sociological context.To turn a republican government into a despotism the basest and most brutal, it is not necessary formally to change its constitution or abandon popular elections. It was centuries after Caesar before the absolute master of the Roman world pretended to rule other than by authority of a Senate that trembled before him.
But forms are nothing when substance has gone, and the forms of popular government are those from which the substance of freedom may most easily go. Extremes meet, and a government of universal suffrage and theoretical equality may, under conditions which impel the change, most readily become a despotism. For there despotism advances in the name and with the might of the people. The single source of power once secured, everything is secured.

What I can't grasp is how they would do this for someone who is essentially the opposite of the deity that they claim to follow.
Give it a rest you pompous ass.
Trump is far from perfect but he's a damn sight better than the ones you voted for and save the crap you don't vote Democrat
How is he better than Jo Jorganson?
Who? Run along, Skippy
when men are habitually seen to raise themselves by corrupt qualities from the lowest places to wealth and power, tolerance of these qualities finally becomes admiration. A corrupt democratic government must finally corrupt the people, and when a people become corrupt there is no resurrection. The life is gone, only the carcass remains; and it is left but for the plowshares of fate to bury it out of sight.I suspect that the "religion" so many of them pretend to follow has a role in this, as well.

Predictably, the White House admits it was posted and says "yeah, tough shit, WE'LL tell you want to care about":
White House Responds to Backlash Over ‘Racist’ Post Depicting Obamas as Apes
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded early Friday in a statement shared with Newsweek, dismissing backlash to the video clip but not directly addressing criticism that the imagery echoed racist tropes.
"This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King," she said. "Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public."
The conditions of social progress, as we have traced the law, are association and equality. The general tendency of modern development, since the time when we can first discern the gleams of civilization in the darkness which followed the fall of the Western Empire, has been toward political and legal equality—to the abolition of slavery; to the abrogation of status; to the sweeping away of hereditary privileges; to the substitution of parliamentary for arbitrary government; to the right of private judgment in matters of religion; to the more equal security in person and property of high and low, weak and strong; to the greater freedom of movement and occupation, of speech and of the press. The history of modern civilization is the history of advances in this direction—of the struggles and triumphs of personal, political, and religious freedom. And the general law is shown by the fact that just as this tendency has asserted itself civilization has advanced, while just as it has been repressed or forced back civilization has been checked.
Let's see the excuse now. This is the epitome of racism. The President is a racist an it is time everybody faced this reality. If you support him, you are supporting his racism.
Trump Condemned Over Post Depicting Obamas as Apes: ‘Racist and Disgusting’
President Donald Trump has sparked online criticism after posting a video on Truth Social that contained a racist depiction of former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes.
Near the end of the 62-second video about voting machines in the 2020 presidential election, the Obamas' faces appear on the bodies of apes for about one second as the Tokens' "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" plays. A watermark from X user @XERIAS_X, a Trump-supporting account with 45,900 followers, overlays that portion of the video.

Of course they would. LOL!Oh come on.
If Joe Biden had posted a video of Clarence Thomas as a monkey conservatives would’ve laughed in a good way, and said it was just a joke and it was so funny and not a problem.
Duplicate thread... Trump posts video of Obamas as apes
