The Mass Psychology of Trumpism

What explains Donald Trump’s enduring appeal among his supporters? What drives the intense emotional connection that his most passionate followers feel with the former — and possibly next — president? This question has flummoxed and bedeviled pundits, political scientists, journalists, historians and other observers for the last decade, leading many to the realization that the normal categories of political analysis fall short when it comes to this phenomenon. In this video essay, the psychologist Dan McAdams ventures a theory: In the minds of Trump’s most ardent supporters, he is both more and less than a person. “In the eyes of his supporters, Trump possesses extraordinary powers that are wielded for good and against evil,” McAdams observes. “Who cares if he is flawed? So what if he lacks certain distinctively human qualities? What does it matter that he is rude, authoritarian or even a criminal?” To explain this apparent paradox, McAdams draws on the research for his book “The Strange Case of Donald J. Trump: A Psychological Reckoning” (2020). McAdams, the Henry Wade Rogers professor of psychology and professor of human development and social policy at Northwestern University, is a pioneering scholar in the field of “narrative identity” theory, or the life-story model of human identity. His other books include “The Redemptive Self: Stories Americans Live By” (2006). This video essay is drawn from McAdams’ New Lines Magazine article “The Mass Psychology of Trumpism,” which can be found at https://newlinesmag.com/argument/the-....
