And I can totally picture Trump supporters burning books/CDs/whatever of anyone who speaks ill of their God Emperor. Of course we all know they were the same people that comprised the "Murika: love Bush or leave it" crowd back in 2003.

was right. The big lie works. Examples in our own country abound, and you've named two. Two others that confound me are trickle-down economics and the repug's lie that they are the friends of Christians. Actually, as with all big lies, the latter is the reverse of the truth. No repug program or proposal that I know of showed love for "the least of these," much less their fellow man in general.
