Really interesting Washington Post article on how thinking about death (not just through threats of terrorism, but the concept of mortality in general) makes people support Donald Trump more.

Hmm... I'm closer than probably any of you, and I don't like him.
I think his appeal is people disgusted with politics and the government will clutch at any candidate that says something, anything, they can agree with.

Manny orders vanilla, Moe orders chocolate, and Jack orders strawberry.
Trump say I like Neapolitan (vanilla, chocolate and strawberry).
Manny, Moe, and Jack all think, he's like me.
