like Erdogan and Assad and King Bone Saw. They associate brutality with strength and value that in a leader who breaks all the rules of human decency or laws to terminate his enemies with extreme prejudice.

They love the fact that Trump breaks laws with impunity and gloat at the fact he hasn't faced any consequences yet.
